Mission
To provide rigorous preclinical, molecular and data analysis services that help researchers move candidate treatments and health findings closer to practical use.
CERA Medical
About CERA Medical
CERA Medical is an SECP-registered biomedical research and development company based at the Pak-Austria Fachhochschule: Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology (PAF-IAST), Haripur, Pakistan. We test candidate treatments in animal models, in cells and by computer simulation, run the molecular laboratory work that supports those studies, and analyse metagenomic, omics and health data through to publication-ready results.
Vision
To be a trusted research partner for universities, industry and health organisations in Pakistan and abroad.
