Our Mission

To prevent disease and deaths due to delayed or mis-diagnosis by increasing the amount of clinical laboratories in sub-Saharan Africa that meet global standards.

Who we are

Metaphor is a diagnostics-focused Contract Research Organization (CRO) that leverages the need for clinical diverse biomarkers to offer Clinical Research as a Care Option in sub-Saharan Africa.

We partner with CROs, biotechnology firms, and academic research institutions globally to develop and validate novel assays/technologies to detect cancers and infectious diseases early in Sub-Saharan Africa under locally approved IRB protocols.

What we do

We develop high-quality clinical laboratories in sub-Saharan Africa to support inclusive global research, offering digital diagnostic solutions, skilled staffing, training, and data- driven consulting. We also support translational research through biomarker validation, genomics, and comprehensive biorepository management.
