OUR MISSION

THE CURE FOR HUMAN DISEASE BEGINS WITH US

Our mission is to bring new medicines into the world which relieves patient’s suffering from serious diseases. To do that, we must undertake the testing we do. It saves human lives.

OUR WORK IS PURPOSEFUL

The tests we conduct are vital to bringing new medicines into the world. We are committed to alleviating the suffering of patients by advancing medical progress. Our goal as a company is to help in the development of treatments for a wide array of diseases and ailments including cancer, malaria, AIDS, tuberculosis and Alzheimer’s disease. ITR Laboratories Canada does not test cosmetics or house hold products as they are not part of our mission to develop new medicines.

OUR WORK IS ETHICAL

Animal-based research is an ethical requirement of developing pharmaceuticals that are safe and effective for humans and animals and is mandated worldwide by regulatory agencies such as Health Canada, the FDA, the EMA, and the WHO. These tests are vital to bringing new medicines into the world and our commitment to our clients, to our employees and to society remains clear and strong: we strive to go beyond the requirements of regulators, especially when it comes to animal care.

OUR WORK IS COMPASSIONATE

Our pledge is to achieve our mission while retaining the utmost respect for the animals in our care. ITR Laboratory Canada has zero tolerance for the mistreatment of any animals under our care and we maintain procedures to ensure staff report and discuss concerns openly. Our strict ethical guideline, in the long term, is to reduce, refine and where possible replace animal-based research.
