About us

We are Passionate About Science

Virology Research Services Limited (VRS) is a consultancy and experimental service provider that specialize in virus research.

We provide solutions to the challenges of virology research, including the need for high-containment infrastructures, an understanding of biosafety regulations, and hands-on expertise on multiple viral systems.

Since 2017, VRS has been working with scientists from industry and academia to support the early stages of antiviral, vaccine, and diagnostic discovery, as well as to advance the study of viral infection.

Our world-class expertise and technologies allow us to provide flexible and customized services to suit our clients’ aims in a timely, rigorous, and effective manner. Also, our in-depth knowledge of different cellular and viral systems make us the perfect partner to assist with assay development, process optimization, and study follow-ups.

Our guarantees

How we work.

We promote rigorous science, and every project is as important to us as it is to our clients. Because of this, we do our best to create and deliver value, and this is how we work…

Free consultation

When you contact us, a senior scientist will discuss your request with you, advise on the best assays, and design an experimental plan upfront at no cost. 

All raw data + full professional report

We will provide you not only with the original raw data in widely compatible file formats, but also with a complete report including experimental details, data analysis, and summary, all ready for presentation or publication.

Bespoke requests welcomed

We love our standard assays, but we also welcome any bespoke request: we are happy to set up and optimise new protocols to meet your needs. We also value flexibility, and we can work in smaller modules to make sure that the next experiment will be the most suitable.

Strict internal controls

All our assays are internally controlled to allow us to assess whether the experiment has worked according to our standards. If we are not happy with the results, we will repeat the assay for free.

Fast delivery

We do our best to deliver your results as soon as we can, keeping you informed on the process. But if you are in a rush, let us know and we will try our best to get your data even quicker.

Continuous improvement

We value the opinion of our clients, so we will always ask you for feedback and make sure that our services meet your expectation.

Testimonials

Very happy. The group was responsive to feedback and helpful in adjusting protocols during a difficult time.

Research Scientist, Eli Lilly

VRS is one of about ten subcontractors that we have used. We have found them to be reliable, flexible, intelligent, responsive, communicative and to produce excellent data.

Peter Laing

CEO, Excivion Ltd

It was an absolute pleasure working with the team at VRS. We had a rather unusual request that had extremely limited timelines. The team was able to set up the assay to our needs and delivered results within the specified time.

Gareth Humphres

Excellent service – in fact often going far beyond what was asked in order to obtain and validate results. Very flexible in fitting in my work to get results in time for a tight deadline. I highly recommend this company.

Dr Gillian Tomlinson

MRC Clinician Scientist

VRS always provide reliable time schedule for testing. Results are summarized in a high-quality report format at the end of each testing. We especially appreciate the quick response to any questions. Overall, VRS is a great lab supporting customers in every case! They are also willing to do other testing methods unrelated to viruses.
