Passionately people-centric

And yes, we’ve always been that way.

Our Past

Our Present

Our Future

From our initial founding, Sabai has protected the safety, rights and welfare of those who participate in clinical trials and those that conduct the research.

We began by providing biosafety services and oversight for institutions, and our uniquely personal approach to deep expertise and white-glove service soon drove expansion into IRB review and consulting.

Today, we deliver a complete suite of services to our pharmaceutical and institution partners.

We originated to support the fields of cell and gene therapy, infectious disease, rare disease, and oncology.

Today, we support sponsors and sites across all phases of research and all therapeutic areas, including biologics, human factors, devices, and social behavioral research.

We’re proud to always remain a people-focused company. Through this principle we serve as a true partner to our clients—Sponsors, CROs, institutions, and sites—thoughtfully and expertly curating the best solutions to meet your needs, with highest standards of quality and compliance throughout the clinical trial process.
