CoresteamChemo and ATG Lifetech announce global partnership for preclinical CRO services

Partnership Overview

A South Korea-based, leading GLP-certified preclinical CRO, CoresteamChemo, and a biotechnology company specialized in transcriptome analytics and organoid-based modeling, ATG Lifetech, came into strategic collaborations to offer next-generation and precision-based non-clinical solutions to pharmaceutical and biotech companies in regions like the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Both companies will demonstrate their joint research efforts at a major toxicology and preclinical science conference, which will be held in Q4 2025. Companies will also launch multiple global services for biotech and pharmaceutical customers that require high-content and biologically trusted preclinical testing.

With this collaboration, CoresteamChemo and ATG Lifetech are planning to co-develop several initiatives, including:

  • A transcriptomic-based evaluation platform, designed to predict drug efficacy and safety profiling of disease-significant organoid models for the heart, liver, and blood-brain barrier.
  • A highly efficient transcriptomics analytical service to differentiate true vs. false positives in tumorigenesis studies.
  • Both companies will share their access for regulatory coordinated experiences in global clients to target FDA/EMA pathways.

Organoid-based assays are known for their translational benefits and provide about 5x greater predictive accuracy. This assay is highly used in toxicity and efficacy screening for greater predictive accuracy than traditional 2D cell culture.
