Dignify Therapeutics LLC, a Triangle-based drug development company focused on restoring bladder and bowel control to people with spinal injury, spina bifida, and other neurological conditions, announced today an agreement with ILS to establish a preclinical urodynamics pharmacology laboratory at their facilities in RTP.

Dignify Therapeutics is developing novel pharmaceutical treatments for bladder and bowel dysfunction in people with spinal cord injury, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions. “An attractive feature for establishing our company in RTP is the availability of state-of-the-art laboratory support services in the area. ILS has a 29 year history of providing high-quality, well-regulated preclinical facilities that enables entrepreneurs to obtain “critical path data” at a cost that is affordable to early-stage companies,” said Dr. Lesley Marson, a co-founder of Dignify Therapeutics. and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Urology at UNC. “ILS’ flexibility, in allowing us to equip the laboratory to meet our highly specialized needs, will allow Dignify’s scientists to continue their innovative, state-of-the-art pharmacology studies of bladder and bowel dysfunction at a level of scientific rigor that is in keeping with the high standards of our team’s earlier published works.”

“At ILS, we understand that early-stage companies require a contract research organization who is an active partner in helping the company obtain preclinical efficacy and safety data to attract funds to carry them into the clinic. We are very proud that a company with the distinguished scientific reputation of Dignify’s founders has placed their confidence in our facilities and scientific staff,” commented Kevin Causey, Director of Commercial Development at ILS. “Our flexibility reflects our philosophy that early-stage companies are an investment for ILS, for Research Triangle Park, and for patients who benefit from their biomedical advances.”
