Patconsult Lab, the only laboratory in Spain dedicated exclusively to experimental pathology with Good Laboratory Practice certification (GLP) and a CataloniaBio & HealthTech member, has inaugurated its new facilities at Parc Tecnològic del Vallès (Barcelona).

Patconsult Lab provides services to companies in the biomedical arena such as histological processing of organ and tissue samples from preclinical studies (regulatory or non-regulatory), efficacy studies, analysis of experimental models and biocompatibility studies, as well as histopathology studies and expert reports.

After working in the field of toxicologic histopathology for researching new medical products for human and veterinary use for 30 years, Jordi Alumà set up Patconsult in 2004. In late 2018, the company changed its name to Patconsult Lab when it took on new partners, including Jaume Amat (Specipig) and Joan Puig de Dou (Kymos Pharma).

“The motivation behind our project is based on providing a highly qualified service in the preclinical research arena, bringing all histological sample processing, assessment and reports under one roof,” Jordi Alumà told CataloniaBioHT.
