State College, PA (November 15, 2016)

INDIGO Biosciences, the recognized industry-leader in Nuclear Receptor research, and Bertin Pharma have announced the completion of a European distribution agreement. Over 40 product references for studying nuclear receptors are now available for European researchers doing their work in drug discovery and toxicology. These innovative tools are used for profiling compounds in research areas such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, and even endocrinology. These all-inclusive, cell-based, and robust kits reduce time, cost, and risk in the drug discovery process by producing easy-to-analyze, accurate results in a fraction of the time of most other kits available.
