Benefits for Biotechs
Small Biotech in a Big Pharma Pond?
We See You.
Mega-cap pharmaceutical companies already have dedicated imaging, biomarker, and ClinOps teams internally. Oh, and billions of other resources! For imaging trials, they often just need a data-clearinghouse vendor.
Meanwhile, your team is wearing multiple hats, running lean, moving fast (and pivoting often), and trying to navigate complex decisions about how to use imaging in the most effective and regulatorily-sound way.
You don’t want an apathetic vendor; you deserve a strategic partner to add expertise exactly where, how, and when you need it.
A Global Imaging Core Lab, Fit for Your Purpose
At Elevate Imaging, we provide full-service imaging core lab services optimized to meet the needs of emerging and scaling biotech organizations.
Our operational infrastructure, end-to-end technology platform, and expert ecosystem are designed to support you at any growth point from early-stage, single-asset pipelines through larger multi-program portfolios.
Whether it’s your first-in-human, 10th, 100th trial or beyond, our partnership scales comfortably to lead fit-for-purpose imaging strategy and execution.
From Collect & Hold to Full Service BICR: Whether you’re conducting early phase research or a registrational trial, we’ll work with you to balance shorter-term constraints against longer-term flexibility. We gladly tailor our scope of services to support protocol design, complex endpoint development, image collection standardization across sites, quality control, retrospective or prospective central review, and clean data delivery.
Small Batch Rapid Reads: Need fast turnaround on central read confirmations for site results, or clean imaging data to present at your next funding round? When speed is a priority, our workflows and tech allow us to achieve this in a matter of days.
Project Transition & Rescue: Need to make a change? External transitions are highly unique. We have a proven suite of governance documentation that allows us to approach each transition with “standardized customizability” to minimize risk and, when needed, improve return-to-green timelines.
Why Biotech Sponsors Choose Elevate Imaging
Built for Speed and Agility
Protocols evolve; cohorts expand; endpoints change; new opportunities emerge. When plans change or an investor milestone looms, you can’t wait a month for overblown bureaucracy. No problem; we can keep up the pace.
It begins with Streamlined Startups:
Our proprietary platform, LiLi™, covers the end-to-end imaging workflow and is already fully validated. We configure the settings for your trial within hours, not months, letting our combined team focus kickoff energy on the charter, project plan, and other governance documents. This lets us focus our startup energy on study design, scientific planning, and governance — not on retrofitting and debugging decades-old technology.
Expert Guidance across Regulatory and Scientific Strategy
Our leadership team and ecosystem of experts provide you the right guidance at the right time, helping you make informed imaging decisions. Need precision guidance on a novel read criteria? We’ll get the expert who wrote the paper on it…literally. We commonly support biotech sponsors on:
Imaging endpoint strategy and selection
Read paradigm and criteria design
Imaging-related protocol language
Imaging charter development
Site imaging requirements and training
Regulatory expectations and agency-facing support
We serve as an extension of your team and provide clear recommendations grounded in scientific, operational, and regulatory experience.
End-to-End Access, Rigor, and Care
For many biotech sponsors, a single trial can represent years of work, critical investor milestones, or the future of an entire company. We understand what's at stake.
At Elevate Imaging, your study is never treated as just another project in a queue, and you don’t have to “throw big pharma weight around” just to get our attention.
We serve as an extension of your team, adding the right support for your needs:
Dedicated project management and concierge-level service
Direct access to experienced operational and scientific leaders
Portfolio-level visibility and strategic oversight
Broader alignment and coordination with your stakeholders, including your general CRO
Balanced internal bandwidth to treat your trial with meticulous care
Proactive risk management focused on protecting your asset and timelines
Right-Fit Solutions for Quality with Cost Efficiency
There’s a difference between future-proofing and bloat – and we’re experienced in defining that line. We build custom, right-sized solutions for what you need, taking into account your risk profile, your asset’s lifecycle, and your support needs.
Our services are tailored to your specific needs, providing:
Fit-for-purpose operational models
Scalable support from early-phase through registrational programs
Access to leading imaging experts and subspecialty readers
Cost-efficient solutions aligned with your development stage
In-house tech means better cost effectiveness
Low Friction
At Elevate Imaging, we aim to make your job easier, not more frustrating. From our technology to our business infrastructure, everything is designed for straightforward, streamlined interactions.
Our operational team members are experienced in biotech imaging project management, and we value relationship continuity. Your project manager and other team members understand how to effectively drive action items, coordinate stakeholders, and proactively manage risk to ensure smooth project execution.
Designed by long-time imaging professionals, our proprietary tech platform is an intuitive, cloud-based one-stop-shop built for real-world trial operations.
Another benefit of having everything under one tech “roof”: you can view the status of your data in real time, at any time.
