Background and History

StageBio is a leading provider of GLP-compliant necropsy, histology, pathology, and specimen archiving services for the biopharmaceutical, medical device, academic, and contract research industries.

We formed through the merger of renowned contract research organizations—Histo-Scientific Research Laboratories (HSRL), HSRL Archives, Vet Path Services, Inc. (VPS), VPS Archives, Tox Path Specialists (TPS), Alizée Pathology, and TPL Path Labs of Germany. By integrating these scientific ventures, we are able to offer beginning-to-end histopathology services to meet all of our clients’ needs under one roof.
