Likarda is a proud supporter of NMBio (New Mexico Biotechnology and Biomedical Association). Current members of NMBio receive a minimum 5% discount on research services. Support Well beyond Providing Data

Likarda’s team invests our expertise in you, taking time to understand your ultimate goals and customizing the research to meet them. Our only stake is in helping you succeed, not in ownership of your intellectual property.

Analytical ServicesWe provide several analytical services to further analyze your product or compounds including HPLC, mass spectrometry, method development, assay validation, environmental/photostability storage and testing, and spent media analysis (amino acid analysis). Drug Discovery and ScreeningWe are dedicated specialists who listen to your needs and build a customized solution. Our experts in screening, profiling, and custom assay development, supplement your research team with support before, during, and after your testing. Our robotic and automated approach to high-throughput 3D compound screening and optimization helps you in early efficacy and toxicity screening, formulation optimization, and enables you to quickly get the data you need to make the most informed decisions about your drug development pathway or product pipelines. |

MEDFAS founder Sam Macrina, after 44+ years of commercial banking experience, saw a need for national exposure to a U S Treasury economic development incentive which subsidizes the interest expense of a company’s expansion project. Under this program, the U S Treasury will pay up to $2.4 million of a company’s interest expense. MEDFAS (Manufacturers Economic Development Financing Associates) was formed in 2013 to help Economic Development Professional and Bankers work together to create Jobs and increase economic development within their communities. Helping Manufacturers successfully access billions of dollars in Tax Advantage Financing, resulting in an average savings of 31% in interest expense alone.
