Modern independent research laboratory

Say hello to your research network.

Vichag connects life sciences sponsors with a vetted network of independent clinics and labs — agile, cost-effective, and held to full GCP and ethical standards.

Have a look

90% of high-quality clinical research happens inside large academic institutions.

MRI imaging from the HepatoMRI trial

Bureaucratic. Expensive. Slow. We saw a problem to be solved, not a status quo to accept.

Breast MRI paired with biopsy results

What if research worked like home-sharing? Independent clinics and labs as trusted hosts — sponsors as guests.

VO2 testing during the VICTORY trial

A vetted network across the UK, US, and India — delivering ethically approved, high-quality datasets, fast.

Our project experience

Real trials. Real sponsors. Real data.

From imaging biomarkers and biopsy-paired datasets to physiology trials — run across our independent network.

VO2 max testing in a runner Ongoing

VO2-VICTORY Trial

Sponsor: NIHR & WMHTIA · PI: Prof Mark Sakr, Univ. of Arizona

Double-blind, matched-pairs trial assessing the VictoryPatch in runners using VO₂ Max and LTT as primary outcome measures.

MB1 trial Ongoing

MB1 Trial

Sponsor: Genie Fertility

Evaluating whether menstrual blood biomarkers offer a less invasive alternative to endometrial biopsy for identifying chronic endometritis.

Breast MRI imaging Completed

Breast US–MRI–Biopsy Sourcing

Sponsor: SuperSonic Imagine

Multi-region dataset of labelled breast ultrasound and MR images paired with biopsy results, supporting clinical and AI development.

Liver MRI imaging Completed

HepatoMRI Trial

Sponsor: Resonance Health · PI: Dr Pathik Parikh, Reliver Clinic

Non-invasive MRI-based software-as-a-medical-device for fibrosis classification — no additional MRI hardware or upgrades needed.

GLIDE wearable glucose trial In development

GLIDE Trial

Sponsor: Eureka UK-Japan Fund · PI: Prof Ashley Grossman

A personalised, non-invasive wearable using AI and EDA sensors to estimate glucose levels — reducing reliance on invasive CGM.

PATELA athlete tendinopathy trial In development

PATELA Trial

Sponsor: GE Healthcare · PI: Olu Owoeye, TIP Lab, US

Ultrasound tendon biomarkers, training load, and energy-availability indicators combined to predict patellar tendinopathy risk in female athletes.

The idea behind Vichag

We believe there is value in challenging the status quo — giving independent sites the same credibility as major hospitals.
