Over the past three decades, the use of porcine models in biomedical research has experienced remarkable growth. According to Frontiers in Genetics (2015), the number of scientific publications involving pigs has increased eightfold in the last 30 years.

This trend highlights the unique value of the porcine model as one of the most reliable and trusted ways to bridge the gap between science and clinical practice. With anatomical and physiological features closely resembling those of humans, pigs are now a reference in cardiovascular, skin, kidney and eye studies, oncology, and advanced therapies.

At Versa Biomedical, we are experts in the porcine model. Our expertise and specialized infrastructure allow us to design and execute preclinical studies that are robust, reproducible, and representative of clinical reality. By ensuring rigor and accessibility, we help our partners validate their innovations with confidence and impact.

Because every model is more than science. It is a step towards new treatments, better devices, and healthier lives. This is the meaning of our purpose: Open models, open futures.
