The merger of Cerba Research and Viroclinics-DDL

After the acquisition of Viroclinics-DDL by the group Cerba Healthcare, we are delighted to announce that Cerba Research, the group’s global clinical trial central and speciality laboratory services division, has now merged with Viroclinics-DDL, a fast-growing global specialist virology and immunology contract research organisation (CRO).

Viroclinics-DDL and CEPI strengthen partnership with the production of Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant for distribution in the CEPI COVID-19 Vaccine Testing Network

Today, Viroclinics-DDL, a global Contract Research Organization supporting clinical and preclinical studies for drug and vaccine development and CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, signed an agreement which allows Viroclinics-DDL to produce and distribute laboratory stocks of the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant for use in CEPI’s centralised COVID-19 vaccine testing network. The produced Omicron SARS-COV-2 variant will be used for the performance of laboratory assays, assessing the neutralizing potential of COVID-19 vaccines against the new variant.

Viroclinics Xellerate provides better logistics support for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries and gives us the opportunity to monitor the quality from the moment the sample is taken to the final test results.
