At Versa, we believe that models give us structure, but it is the talent behind them that opens futures. That’s why, from day one, we have been committed to building a network of collaborators made up of clinical professionals, surgeons, researchers, and specialists in advanced surgical and biomedical fields. A network that works with an open mindset, scientific rigor, and a shared goal: bringing preclinical results closer to clinical reality.

A model designed by those who will later treat the patients
In many centers, preclinical research develops far from the operating room and from real clinical practice. At Versa, the opposite is true. Our studies are designed together with surgeons who know firsthand the challenges, limitations, and needs that will later appear in the clinic.

This allows us to:

• Define clinically relevant endpoints
• Design realistic, replicable, human-oriented procedures
• Reduce adaptation times between preclinical and clinical phases
• Improve the quality and usefulness of the data
• Increase the success rate in later stages

In other words: when the person who collaborate in the design of the study is the same person who will later apply the solution in humans, everything fits better and moves faster.

A differential factor backed by evidence
The lack of alignment between preclinical and clinical stages is one of the main reasons for the failure of new drugs, devices, or advanced therapies. In fact, according to Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, more than 85% of therapies fail when moving from preclinical to clinical, and one of the most frequently cited causes is the absence of truly translational models and protocols.

That figure summarizes precisely why our network matters. Having clinical specialists from the beginning not only contributes technical knowledge, but also reduces uncertainty, anticipates risks, and increases predictability. It is the difference between “testing something” and preparing it for real life.

Collaborators with names and faces. Models with open doors
Our network is made up of renowned professionals in areas such as cardiology, neurology, dental & maxillofacial, ophthalmology, as well as endoscopy, radiology, and urology, among others. We work with them in the same way we want our clients to work with us: with trust, transparency, direct access, open models, and barrier-free collaboration.

This approach is what allows us to keep our purpose alive: Open models, open futures. We open models not only to advance science, but to open real opportunities for the projects we support.

A network built to accelerate your clinical future
What we offer is not “a service.” It is an ecosystem where experts, infrastructures, and models operate as a single unit. And that unit turns every study into one step closer to the clinic.

Because at Versa we don’t just do preclinical research. We build bridges toward the clinical future of every project.
