History

edit

Alimentiv operated as Robarts Clinical Trials, part of Western University starting in 1986.[5] In 2020 the company was purchased from Western University and began operations as Alimentiv Inc., the rebranding supposedly reflected the company’s continued growth as a specialized contract research organization. [6]

Today, Alimentiv provides services in more than 64 countries worldwide, collaborates with leading scientists and organizations around the globe such as Summit Clinical Research, LLC,[7] and works with pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations to bring new and improved GI treatment options to patients.[8]

In 2021, Alimentiv acquired McDougall Scientific Ltd., a niche CRO specializing in statistical analysis, data management, reporting, and clinical trial design.[9] This was followed by Alimentiv launching AcelaBio in 2021, a commercial research laboratory, located in San Diego, CA delivering histopathology and precision medicine services for global clinical trials.[10]
