Our Team

CEO Message:
"Hamamatsu Laboratory is a contract research organization specializing in non-clinical efficacy and pharmacology testing.
In recent years, discrepancies between non-clinical and clinical trial results have become a challenge in new drug development, increasing the importance of translational research.
With the rapid growth of the biopharmaceutical market and accelerated outsourcing by pharmaceutical companies, demand is rising for verification of new drug candidates using cynomolgus monkeys, which are physiologically similar to humans.
Utilizing our unique technologies and advanced research, we aim to provide high-precision testing and competitive disease models, striving to become a research institute chosen by pharmaceutical companies worldwide."
