Scientific Output · Since 1990

Not just results.
Peer-reviewed science.

BioGroup generates and publishes original research validated by the international scientific community — in the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. That is what sets us apart from a conventional laboratory.

While other laboratories only report,
BioGroup does science.

Battelle Press (USA), IAHS Press (UK) and international symposia in Kyoto back our work. Behind every analysis there is original research, validated methods and results subjected to the scrutiny of the global scientific community.
