ACORN Research is able to provide CRO services as needed to facilitate prospective collections of biospecimens from targeted study populations. "Development of new targeted therapies and companion diagnostics rely on availability of tissues, and increasingly biofluids, linked to deep clinical data.

Leif Honda, AdeptBio, LLC, CEO, adds, "Researcher's needs are changing as biomarkers and companion diagnostics emerge along with new regulatory requirements. AdeptBio's relationship with ACORN Research presents an end-to-end answer to meet those needs. We are delighted to be entering into this partnership with ACORN Research as a CRO with an excellent history of success with its clients and rapport with their oncology network."
ACORN Research and AdeptBio are committed to helping the research community make significant advancements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer, through the provision of relevant, leading edge biospecimens and associated data.
