Medicilon Boston R&D Center Awarded Full AAALAC International Accreditation, Further Elevating Global Service Capabilities
Following the first AAALAC accreditation of its Shanghai R&D Center back in 2009, this renewed recognition proves that Medicilon’s Boston facility has met world-class standards in laboratory animal welfare, ethical supervision, quality management and operational systems. It also fully demonstrates that the company’s international operation and management capabilities have been acknowledged by leading global authoritative organizations.

Medicilon Boston Research Center’s Laboratories

As a trusted global preclinical CRO platform for the pharmaceutical industry, Medicilon prioritizes quality management and ethical compliance as core development principles.

Solidifying Global Development Foundation with International Standard Compliance

Facilitating Global Innovative Drug Development and China-U.S. Dual Regulatory Filings

Global biopharmaceutical innovation accelerates rapidly, with global simultaneous development and overseas commercialization of innovative drugs becoming mainstream trends. Mutual recognition of institutional qualifications and research data remains a core barrier for enterprises’ global layout. Medicilon delivers preclinical services, including systematic in vivo pharmacodynamic studies, as well as GLP-compliant pharmacokinetic and safety assessments. Medicilon maintains nearly 1,000 efficacy models to comprehensively evaluate anti-tumor candidates: cytotoxic and targeted small molecules, mAbs, bispecific antibodies, ADCs, AOCs, CAR-T and CAR-NK cell therapies.

For non-oncology programs, Medicilon’s proprietary animal models cover inflammatory autoimmune disorders, stroke, renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, lupus erythematosus and more. These platforms support systematic testing of small molecules, biologics, ADCs, nucleic acid therapeutics, exosomes, radiopharmaceuticals and cell therapies across diverse formulations and administration routes. Medicilon also explores AI and organoid technologies to advance new drug safety evaluation.

As of the end of 2025, Medicilon has supported 651 INDs for clinical trials, among which 72 received dual US-China approvals and 17 innovative drugs launched globally.

The full AAALAC International accreditation of the Boston R&D Center eliminates barriers to mutually recognized qualifications, unified standards and cross-border data acceptance. It enables Medicilon to fully align with regional regulatory and client requirements, accelerating dual US-China filings and global rollout of novel therapeutics.

Adhere to Research Ethics for Sustainable Industrial Development

AAALAC accreditation is not only authoritative proof of institutional research strength, but also a commitment to humane research ethics and laboratory animal welfare. Moving forward, Medicilon will keep benchmarking global standards, optimize animal study management systems, improve research quality and ethical compliance, and advance humane preclinical R&D for innovative drugs.

Dr. Lin Qingcong, Executive Vice President of Medicilon and President of Medicilon USA, commented:

“Securing full AAALAC International accreditation recognizes the robust animal research quality system and management proficiency of Medicilon’s Boston R&D Center, and underscores our consistent pursuit of high research standards and global operational strategy. Adhering to the core values of Science, Standardization, Integrity and Efficiency, Medicilon will continuously upgrade animal welfare standards and R&D service competence. We will provide globally standardized drug discovery and preclinical research support to partners worldwide and speed up innovative drug development. “

Dr. Chen Chunlin, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Medicilon, stated:

“The AAALAC accreditation of the Boston R&D Center gives strong impetus to Medicilon’s global layout and international market expansion. Leveraging our strengths in global qualifications, proprietary technologies and integrated service platforms, we will connect worldwide pharmaceutical innovation resources, provide borderless one-stop preclinical R&D services for global biotech innovators, and contribute to the high-quality development of the global pharmaceutical industry. “
