MARC
Contract Research Organization (CRO)
MARC for Medical Services and Scientific Research is an integrative research center that aims to advance science by conducting research in interdisciplinary disease areas. Our goal is to conduct high-priority and ethical basic, preclinical and clinical research, bridging the gap between science and community to improve health and quality of life.
Multiple areas of expertise
MARC performs activities in four distinct and harmonized areas, supporting different stages of research through the discovery, preclinical and clinical phases.
Our services
MARC provides integrated research services to serve all phases of research through its multi-omic labs and state-of-the-art equipment.

Bioequivalence Center
Bioequivalence Studies
MARC-BE center is licensed by the Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) and conducts bioequivalence studies with in-house scientific and regulatory expertise. MARC-BE carries out all study processes, from study design and protocol writing to the final study report issuance, focusing on compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.
Bioscience Research Laboratories
Immunology Unit
As its name suggests, the immunology unit studies the immune system and its response to disease. The unit's highly equipped lab allows it to conduct cutting-edge research in immuno-oncology, infectious illnesses, drug safety, and therapy response. Key Laboratory Equipment - Agilent BioTek ELx808 Absorbance Microplate Reader - Agilent BioTek 50 TS Microplate Washer - Beckman Coulter CytoFLEX Flow Cytometer - Leica DM500 Binocular Microscope
Bioscience Research Laboratories
Nanotechnology Unit
The Nanotechnology Unit was established to develop fully characterized nanomaterials that can be used by research and industry sectors. These nanomaterials are synthesized through research and development plans to cover a wide range of materials, including proteins, lipids, metals, metal oxides, and polymers.
