At a Glance: Discover ABS Bio
Why Researchers Choose ABS Bio
Why ABS Bio? Discovery is in our DNA
In 1990, Dr. Charles “Charlie” Saller, Ph.D. founded ABS Bio on a simple principle: Innovative biopharmaceutical discovery labs need capable, reliable scientific support services to enable their important, high-value discovery work.
In his days at AstraZeneca, where he was instrumental in the discovery of the blockbuster Seroquel®, he experienced this need first-hand.
Based on his day-to-day experience in the discovery lab, Dr. Saller envisioned what the ideal partner would look like. Today, 30+ years and thousands of successful projects later, ABS Bio continues to serve drug discovery specialists based on Dr. Saller’s vision.
Culture & Approach: At your service
First and foremost, we are a services business. This means that a deep “service” mindset underpins everything we do in every part of the company.
- We are outcome focused: we think and act in client’s best interest.
- We are friendly, approachable, accessible and strive to make each client’s life easier. We want clients to think of us like a colleague down the hall who they can call on any time, for anything.
- We will do everything in our power to not let a client make a mistake.
- We engage at the problem-solving level. Sure, some of the work we do is mundane, but we always start with a diagnostic, consultative mindset.
- We always seek to do “more” than what a project calls for.
Expertise & Experience: An extension of your lab
We will never be as expert as our clients are in their areas of drug discovery, but we strive to be the very best in the service segments we deliver.
- Across Human Biospecimen Sourcing, Cell Culture Services, Histopathology and Biostorage, we understand the science and quality clients need from ABS in order to achieve their research objectives.
- We have 30+ years experience. We lean on this experience, while also maintaining a steadfast commitment to continuously improving our capabilities and training our people.
- We have built and hardened processes and workflows that we know will deliver the results clients need. Nothing is left to chance.
- We understand that we do essential but unglamorous work that allows our clients to focus on their life-saving discovery work. We must do this work as well as our clients do theirs.
