Biokinetics

Biokinetics is a leading full-service clinical research organization (CRO) based in South Africa, specializing in Phase I through IV clinical trials. Founded in 1997, the company is recognized for its expertise in bioequivalence studies, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analysis, and vaccine research, particularly in the context of infectious diseases like HIV and tuberculosis. In March 2021, Biokinetics was acquired by Altasciences, a global drug development solution provider, to enhance its clinical trial capabilities and provide clients with access to a diverse patient population in Africa. The company operates a high-capacity clinical facility in Germiston and serves a global clientele of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Its integration into Altasciences allows for a seamless transition between early-phase clinical development and later-stage trials across multiple continents.
