Comprehensive Preclinical Research Support

Every preclinical study comes with its own challenges, and NiKara Preclinical is here to make sure your team can focus on the science while I manage the procedural execution. I provide independent, contract-based surgical and study support, bringing advanced technical expertise, regulatory knowledge, and hands-on guidance directly to your lab. My approach is flexible, collaborative, and always centered on producing accurate, reproducible results while maintaining the highest standards of animal welfare.

Procedure Execution
I perform advanced surgical and interventional procedures in large animal models, supporting studies that require precise technique and attention to detail. From survival surgeries to device testing, my work ensures that your experiments run safely and efficiently. Each procedure is approached with careful planning, adherence to regulatory standards, and a focus on minimizing variability, so your data reflects true study outcomes.

Complex Anesthesia
Anesthesia is one of the most critical components of successful preclinical research. I provide full anesthesia management, including planning, administration, mechanical ventilation, FiO₂ management, and arterial blood gas interpretation. I monitor procedures in real-time to ensure both study integrity and animal welfare, giving your team confidence that every aspect of anesthesia and procedural support is expertly handled.

Training
Training and skill development are an integral part of my services. The VITALS Academy offers hands-on workshops and micro-lessons tailored to your team’s needs, delivered directly in your lab. These sessions provide practical, real-world experience in performing complex procedures, managing anesthetic events, and supporting catheter lab operations. By combining technical instruction with guidance on best practices, I help teams achieve higher confidence, efficiency, and safety. Your team can also take advantage of the free newsletter and articles provided through the VITALS Academy.

Study Support
In addition to procedural support, I assist with study planning, documentation, and regulatory compliance. From SOP creation to GLP- and FDA-aligned study documentation, I ensure your research meets audit standards without adding unnecessary burden to your team. By integrating compliance into every step of study execution, I help labs run studies that are both scientifically rigorous and fully accountable.

At NiKara Preclinical, my services are designed to remove barriers between research design and execution. By providing expert surgical, procedural, and training support, I help your team deliver reliable results while maintaining the highest standards of care. Partner with me to ensure your next study runs smoothly, safely, and successfully.
