With its innovative functional assay platform for G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), Tanso Biosciences promotes human health by expanding frontiers in drug discovery and accelerating research & development.
I highly recommend Tanso Biosciences for their assay platform. Its reliability and industry-leading receptor coverage make it a uniquely valuable guide to GPCR drug discovery. We experienced a quick turnaround time as well.
