Surgical, Interventional & Anesthetic Contract Support for Preclinical Research
Independent, hands-on expertise for GLP and non-GLP studies, available nationwide.
Who is NiKara Preclinical?
NiKara Preclinical is an independent contract practice providing surgical, interventional, and anesthesia support for preclinical research.
I founded it after more than 20 years of hands-on work with large and small animal species in university veterinary centers, catheter labs, hybrid ORs, and contract research settings.
Today I work with CROs, academic institutions, biotech companies, and medical device programs across the country, in both GLP and non-GLP environments.
Alongside my own procedural and anesthesia work, NiKara Preclinical offers study direction and advanced cardiac support through trusted collaborators, so you have one point of contact for the full arc of your study.
Why NiKara Preclinical?
Experienced Hands. Clear Communication. On Schedule.
I bring more than two decades of surgical and anesthetic experience across university veterinary centers, catheter labs, hybrid ORs, and contract research settings. Whether the model is a rodent survival surgery or a complex large animal intervention, you know who is performing the work, what the plan is, and what to expect before the project begins.
Multispecies depth: Swine, ovine, caprine, bovine, equine, canine, rabbit, rodent, guinea pig, ferret, and avian models.
GLP and non-GLP fluency: Work aligned with GLP, IACUC, USDA, and AAALAC expectations.
Fully independent: Flexible engagements, from a single procedure day to a multi-phase program, with an estimate for your approval before any project begins.
