Surgery & Experimental Medicine
The Surgery and Experimental Department at WIL Research has developed a number of surgical models and additional capabilities in support of our toxicity studies. These range from anesthetic protocols to the implantation of telemetry devices for safety pharmacology. Our experienced surgeons and anesthetists have experience in a wide variety of surgical models and will work to develop additional models as needed by our sponsors. The surgery suite is up-to-date and fully equipped, and we also offer radiographic services.
