April, 2008 - The safety pharmacology team at LAB Research was presented with the 'Technological Innovation Award' at the 28th Edition of Les Mercuriades Awards in Quebec, Canada. The team developed a preclinical platform that uses a data-processing technology to improve pulmonary function evaluations in preclinical studies. This project allows for better characterization of the respiratory system and improves decision-making and timelines in the development of new drugs. The 'Technological Innovation Award' recognizes the know-how and of Quebec’s business entrepreneurial success. It is considered the ultimate recognition of excellence.
