Charles River Laboratories has joined Exostar’s Life Sciences Identity Hub, a community of more than 500 organizations that brings CROs, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and academic institutions together to help facilitate collaborations, reduce capital and operating expenditures, and enhance productivity in speeding time-to-market.
 
Through its Secure Access Manager (SAM) service offering, organizations connect to the cloud-based Exostar Life Sciences Identity Hub, opening the door to external partner collaboration through portals, applications, and information sharing. SAM verifies identities of individuals and permits access based on authentication methods and permissions defined by asset owners.
 
“Charles River’s commitment to being a fully integrated partner with its customers makes our Life Sciences collaboration platform a perfect complement to its mission,” said Vijay Takanti, Exostar’s vice president of Security and Collaboration Solutions. “Other CROs and industry partners are enhancing their value by following Charles River’s lead and becoming part of our community.”
