Presentation<br />

In Vitro Cells<br />

www.invitrocells.com.br<br />

In Vitro Cells – Toxicological Research S.A. is a technology based company located at Biominas<br />

Foundation (Belo Horizonte, MG). Its founders are professors of the Federal University of Minas Gerais<br />

(UFMG) in the fields of Toxicology and Biochemistry. The company is an <strong>INCT</strong>-INOFAR partner to<br />

conduct in vitro bioassays to test the safety and efficacy of new pharmaceutical candidates developed by<br />

the Institute.<br />

Cristalia Laboratories Chemical and Pharmaceutical Products<br />

www.2cristalia.com.br<br />

Cristalia is a pharmaceutical company associated with <strong>INCT</strong>-INOFAR, capable of supporting the stages<br />

of pharmacotechnical developing of new prototype compounds that reach this advanced stage of the<br />

chain of innovation in pharmaceuticals and medications. Under confidentiality and non-disclosure<br />

terms, Cristalia will benefit, if it wishes, from information on the current projects, by expressing an<br />

interest in absorbing the technology developed at <strong>INCT</strong>-INOFAR. So that the technology may be<br />

transferred, the Innovation Agency of <strong>UFRJ</strong> and its peer at another <strong>INCT</strong>-INOFAR research institution<br />

will negotiate directly with the interested parties, including financial backers.<br />

Royal Institute (Instituto Royal)<br />

www.institutoroyal.org.br<br />

Toxicology is a very delicate stage that might absolve or condemn forever a pharmaceutical candidate<br />

prototype. <strong>INCT</strong>-INOFAR prioritizes the studies of cytotoxicity, mutatoxicity, and genotoxicity, as well<br />

as acute toxicology, with the molecules that have proven attractive in terms of pharmacological activities<br />

as early as possible in the chain of pharmaceutical innovation. To ensure that all the preclinical toxicology<br />

stages are accredited in good laboratory practices (BPL/GLP), <strong>INCT</strong>-INOFAR has a partnership with<br />

the Royal Institute, which is a result of the merger of two toxicology laboratories housed in two different<br />

universities. The Genotox-Royal Institute, located at UFRGS, is responsible for the genetic toxicity<br />

studies, while Unitox-Royal, located at the University of Santo Amaro (UNISA-SP) is responsible for<br />

animal toxicity tests.<br />

Ciallyx Laboratories & Consultants<br />

www.ciallyx.com.br<br />

Ciallyx Laboratories & Consultants is a company housed at CIETEC (Incubator Center for Technological<br />

Companies) that carries out efficacy studies (concept tests) and safety studies (studies and toxicological<br />

assays) for new molecules, medications, and formulations. Ciallyx achieves results by following national<br />

and international protocols under strict quality parameters, guided by the international guidelines of<br />

the Good Laboratory Practices – GLP. The company is an <strong>INCT</strong>-INOFAR partner to conduct in vivo<br />

bioassays to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new pharmaceutical candidates developed by the Institute.
