Assay.Works is a private contract research organization (CRO) occupying a 750 m2 state-of-the-art laboratory located in the Regensburg BioPark, the second largest hub of the Bavarian biotech cluster. Our mission is to accelerate our partner’s research programs by developing and executing predictive and scalable assays to quantify the bioactivity of novel chemical and biological entities. We combine scientific rigor with our domain expertise in laboratory automation, informatics, and industry best practices to turn challenging assays into quantitative, reproducible results.
