Receptor Pharmacology and Occupancy

Gifford Bioscience Limited is a preclinical contract research organization (CRO) providing specialist services in radioligand binding assays, receptor occupancy studies, autoradiography and SPR.

At Gifford Bioscience, we employ “gold standard” radiometric methods, for maximum sensitivity and robustness, together with label-free, kinetic affinity techniques. We use cell membranes, live cells, human tissue and animal tissue.

Receptor Autoradiography

Imaging distribution of a labeled test drug in tissue or organ sections.

Receptor Occupancy

Measurement of the degree to which a test compound engages its target receptor in live cells, tissues or in an animal.
