Through EARO, the researchers in biomedical ecosystem gain access to EDDC’s scientific knowhow, advanced technology platforms, and high-quality services.
Led by scientists with decades of industry experience, EARO facilitates access to all the platforms available at EDDC for service-based engagements, but it comprises primarily of 2 core discovery platforms.
