Scientist.com, the pharmaceutical industry’s leading R&D marketplace, announced today that VERIF.i^® , the company’s supplier pre-assessment program, has been used to successfully complete an on-site assessment of the LIDE Biotech facility in Shanghai, China. VERIF.i was developed to help users on both sides of the Scientist.com marketplace improve quality standards and reduce indirect costs.

LIDE (Lab for Innovated Diagnosis and Experimental Therapeutics) Biotech is a translational medicine service provider that has delivered innovations in oncology translational research and immune-oncology for the past 11 years. LIDE was founded by overseas returnees Drs. Danyi Wen, Yizhun Zhu and others, with the goal of bringing together first-class research and management teams with advanced scientific backgrounds to push the frontier of translational medical research. LIDE is committed to superior research quality; in 2015, it partnered with several large pharma and biotech companies to create a PDX Consortium Board with the goal of promoting and ensuring high PDX standards across China.

“At LIDE we hold ourselves to the highest industry standards by ensuring superior quality of our facilities and the world class scientists operating them,” stated Dr. Danyi Wen, President and CEO of LIDE Biotech. “Together with other industry certifications, VERIF.i allows us to showcase our quality commitment across the industry in North America and Europe as well as in the growing Scientist.com marketplace.”

VERIF.i gives suppliers of regulated research services the opportunity to proactively communicate their standards against pre-defined criteria developed for the biopharma industry and then confirm them through independent, third-party auditors that carry out an on-site inspection. Pre-assessments help suppliers such as LIDE Biotech demonstrate their quality and capabilities, while also helping pharma and biotech customers purchase regulated services in an accelerated manner with more confidence and less risk.

“Even prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, on-site assessments of laboratories were difficult to complete owing to the high cost and intensive resource and time requirements,” stated Matt McLoughlin, SVP of Categories and Compliance at Scientist.com . “VERIF.i addresses these challenges by creating a standardized process for both customers and suppliers. It also enables suppliers like LIDE to differentiate themselves from their peers by sharing independent insight into their facilities, personnel and processes."

VERIF.i is an expansion of Scientist.com’s award-winning COMPLi^® solution. For more information visit https://www.scientist.com/verifi/
