Rooted in Laboratory Medicine

iSpecimen was founded by pathologists who were constantly asked by scientists to manually search their clinical lab to find samples for research. Realizing there had to be a better way, they developed the technology and processes at the heart of the iSpecimen Marketplace. We continue to build on this foundation, creating value for all participants.
