About PhenoVista Biosciences

A DECADE OF DISCOVERY

As a 100% service-based business, we work with biopharmaceutical clients of all sizes, from start-ups to established, global organizations, developing and implementing high-content imaging-based, phenotypic cellular assays for lead optimization, mechanism-of-action studies, and target validation for preclinical models.

2014
PV founded.

2015
Human neuronal health assay suite developed, enabling clients to assess the neurotoxicity of candidate compounds.

2017
Large-scale study using patient-derived tumor samples completed, demonstrating our capabilities in the oncology space.

2019
Developed cell painting assay using human iPS-derived cells, combining high-content screening with a reproducible, physiologically relevant model.

2022
Launched Ready-2-Go Assays, off-the-shelf options that complement our custom assays.

HOW WE STARTED

PhenoVista was founded in 2014 by scientists from MIT and UCSD. We are privately owned and, although based in San Diego, support clients around the world. We started with developing Custom Assays and have since expanded our offerings to include Ready-2-Go Assay Services, predefined offerings across a range of disease and therapeutic areas.

OUR VALUES

Deliver Data to De-risk R&D Decisions

Imaging is unforgiving. Any shortcomings, impurities, or flaws in an assay will be seen and can affect the downstream meaningfulness and value of the data produced. We believe in maintaining high standards with great, scientific rigor to provide our clients with first-rate, actionable answers to their biological questions.

Innovate through the Lens of Client Needs

Rather than trying to manipulate assays and conditions to fit a specific piece of equipment, we believe in using a variety of instrumentation according to each of their particular strengths and benefits. This lets us offer our customers greater creativity in problem solving, with the ability to tackle problems from multiple perspectives.

Collaborate to Address Complex Biological Questions

We believe that the finest work comes from collaboration. That's why we work directly with our clients and maintain open communication from start to finish to ensure that our assay services are helping them reach their research goals. This flexible style of engagement draws on the expertise of all parties to find the best possible solutions to our customers' scientific problems.
