Biomedical Sciences

Most biomedical research requires either a human or animal model. Bionetics is one of the most experienced providers of human test subjects for research studies in the United States. We have recruited, screened, and provided research subjects under contracts with the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Agriculture. Typical projects have included support for efforts to characterize the effects of weightlessness on the human body or studies of cockpit human factors and crew fatigue. We have also provided teams of on-call physicians and nurses to support research objectives and assure accurate data collection.

When laboratory animals are involved Bionetics has established an unsurpassed performance record for humane animal care. We consistently demonstrate our ability to maintain experimental controls, ensure compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and provide the quality control necessary to collect accurate scientific data. Animals entrusted to our care are provided with food, water, clean caging, and appropriate enrichment. They are continually monitored for signs of illness or distress. Bionetics veterinarians, ACLAM Diplomates, are on the leading edge of research in a variety of fields of study. We support some of the most challenging research being conducted today. Our laboratory animal caretakers are certified by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS). Both formal and informal training programs are provided to assist individuals in obtaining AALAS certification. Bionetics emphasizes training as a means to promotion and personal fulfillment that helps to create a challenging and rewarding work environment.
