Company Summary

One Health Company is disrupting the animal testing market by connecting already sick pets to drug trials. Rather than inducing disease in healthy lab animals, we partner with pet owners and veterinarians to evaluate novel therapies on already sick pets. Our study sponsors hire us to evaluate the efficacy of their novel therapies. We aggregate clinical data, genomics data, and pet owner feedback to de-risk the leap from animal to human trials.
