Lab Pathways, Inc. was founded in July of 2003 as a Contract Research Organization focused on in vitro toxicity screening of potential drug candidates and chemicals. CeeTox resides in 4,200-square-feet of state-of-the-art laboratory space in the Southwest Michigan Innovation Center (SMIC), a $13 million facility that serves as an incubator for new biotech companies in the Southwest Michigan area. In 2010, CeeTox purchased certain assets formerly owned by ADMETRx Inc. This asset purchase increases CeeTox's existing ADME capabilities and is yet another step in its strategy to expand its range of in vitro service offerings. The scientists at CeeTox have a collective experience of more than 100 years in areas of cell culture, biochemistry, and toxicology. The team has analyzed more than 4,000 new chemical entities and has repeatedly demonstrated the value of early in vitro toxicity data in the drug discovery process.
