Ricerca Biosciences has formed a business development agreement with Life Science Partner (LSP) Co., Ltd., of Tokyo, Japan. The collaboration and settlement grants LSP the ability to market the full spectrum of services offered by Ricerca to those companies represented by LSP, increasing the Japanese, Korean and overall Asian markets for Ricerca. With the goal of providing a complete set of abilities for the registration of crop protection compounds, pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals for governments across the globe, the addition of Ricerca is an important component for LSP and their represented companies, according to a Ricerca statement.

“Ricerca’s services, experience and quality make us confident in the expansion of the business for Ricerca. We also believe our collaboration will largely help our customers develop new compounds and products for tomorrow and will provide higher value to meet customer needs,” said Hiroko Suzuki, LSP’s executive director.

“It is our pleasure to collaborate with LSP. Their business model is unique and is embraced by the Japanese industry with a cost-effective and rapid turnaround time for laboratory studies. With Ricerca’s capabilities in radiolabled synthesis, animal and plant metabolism, environmental fate, mammalian toxicology and microbiology, we truly provide LSP with a significant advantage in their service offerings,” said Mark Crane, Ricerca’s vice president of Business Development and Marketing. “All of our services are complemented by our 25 years of experience in laboratory studies for global regulatory acceptance.”
