Iris Pharma, a French ophthalmic preclinical and clinical contract research organisation (CRO), has formed an alliance with US-based RxGen to develop and apply translational research models to offer integrated bench-to-bedside ophthalmology research services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
