General Info

We provide contract research services to the pharmaceutical industry. We use rodent models to predict the efficacy of experimental compounds, especially for CNS diseases, and to predict CNS side effects for any therapeutic class. The two principal scientists, James L. Howard, Ph.D., and Gerald T. Pollard, Ph.D., were research pharmacologists with a major pharmaceutical company for 21 years. In 1995, we established Howard Associates in Research Triangle Park, NC. James L. Howard is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology, North Carolina State University. Our service is characterized by rapid response, full and frequent communication with the client, high-quality data, and the application of our technical expertise and experience in drug discovery to the refinement of animal models.
