Strategic Projects Partner at Nawah Scientific
Cairo, Egypt
About
WHO WE ARE: Nawah Scientific is a premier Contract Research Organization (CRO) and ISO 17025 accredited SME operating across the MENA & EU. As a Horizon Europe Associated Country partner, we bring full funding eligibility and a unique "Cloud Lab" infrastructure that processes over 1 million samples annually.
OUR VALUE PROPOSITION: We offer Health Consortiums a "One-Stop-Shop" for Analytical Validation, bridging the gap between drug discovery and clinical trials.
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE (OFFERED SERVICES):
1. In Vivo Pre-clinical Validation (Animal Models):
-
Pharmacokinetics (PK/PD): Bioanalysis via LC-MS/MS for plasma/tissue distribution (Oral, IV, IP) in rodent models.
-
Disease Models: Validated models for Oncology, Metabolic Syndrome, and Inflammation.
-
Safety Studies: Acute/Chronic toxicity testing and Histopathology.
2. In Vitro (Cell-Based) & Molecular Bioassays:
-
Cell-Based: High-throughput screening for Cytotoxicity (MTT/SRB), Cellular Uptake, Permeability (Caco-2), and Flow Cytometry.
-
Molecular: Quantitative Gene Expression (qPCR), Protein Analysis (Western Blot), and ELISA markers.
-
Microbiology: Antiviral (BSL-2/3) and Antibacterial profiling (MIC, Biofilm).
3. Pharma CRMs & Hit-to-Lead Chemistry:
-
Certified Reference Materials: Custom synthesis and certification of pharmaceutical impurities and standards.
-
Characterization: Full structural elucidation using NMR, XRD, and Mass Spectrometry.
4. Advanced Nano-Formulation:
- Nanotechnology: Design and characterization of Liposomes, PLGA nanoparticles, and Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs).
