A Brief Introduction
The most prominent core activities at Cenix are the Preclinical Contract Research Services,
whereby clients from industry and academia access the company's extensively proven expertise with key types of pre-clinical cell-based and in vivo experimentation, as follows:
The ever-growing list of Cenix clients and partners include all sizes of life science research operations
worldwide, from academic groups commissioning major grant-supported RNAi screens to large pharmaceutical
companies needing to complement and accelerate their own internal efforts.
Regardless of their origin, all Contract Research Projects carried out by
Cenix are custom-designed to address each client's specific
experimental, strategic and budgetary guidelines, while always meeting
the highest scientific standards in the field.

The process inevitably begins with Project Assessment discussions
between Cenix scientists and the client's project leaders to evaluate
the feasibility of the proposed work, select the best strategy and
define a detailed workplan.
Once started, all projects are tightly managed through Joint Research
Committees that monitor and, if needed, redirect efforts such that
progress can be followed from stage to stage, allowing multiple
"go/no-go" decision points along the way. By
minimizing expenditure and risk, this approach offers ideal
compatibility with the realities of corporate decision-making.
Also, as a service provider, Cenix offers its technology and
expertise while making no claim to ownership of the results and fully
assigns the target IP to the Partner.
All reporting modalities, combining regular teleconferencing, written
reports and face-to-face meetings, are designed such that the project
carried out by Cenix should feel to the client like a seamless
extension of their own operations. Throughout each project and upon its
completion, all project data, from detailed protocols and raw image
files to fully-processed annotations and presentation graphs, are
delivered by Cenix to the client through secure electronic
formats, such that these are fully compatible with intellectual
property filings and/or publications in the highest of peer-review
journals.
