At Preclinical Research Associates (PRA), our goal has always been to make high-quality, reproducible surgical programs more accessible to research organizations. We’ve built our foundation on precision, consistency, and responsibility, supporting studies that demand the highest levels of surgical expertise and throughput.

Now, through an exclusive strategic alliance with Endpoint Preclinical, we’re expanding that capability directly into client facilities. This collaboration introduces a new operational model for supporting preclinical programs: production-level surgical services delivered on-site, under our clients’ compliance and housing frameworks.

Setting a New Standard for Scale and Consistency

Surgically prepared research models are often shipped between facilities, introducing variables, delays, and costs. Our partnership with Endpoint eliminates those barriers. Together, we embed experienced PRA surgeons directly within client facilities, enabling large-scale model creation and recovery where the research happens.

This on-site model helps organizations:

  • Accelerate study readiness by removing transport and acclimation delays.
  • Maintain consistency through standardized procedures and oversight.
  • Scale efficiently with production-level throughput, without adding internal headcount.
  • Further align with the 3Rs, reducing reliance on external suppliers and improving welfare outcomes.

Partnership in Practice

This alliance is built on a shared belief that advancing preclinical research requires both operational efficiency and scientific integrity. It is particularly valuable for organizations running high-volume programs across cardiovascular, neuroscience, pharmacokinetic, and device-related studies, areas where PRA’s experience ensures precision and consistency at scale.

By combining Endpoint’s managed-services infrastructure with PRA’s specialized surgical experience, we’re establishing a new model for collaboration, consistency, and care in translational research.
