About Cardinal Bioresearch
Supporting better outcomes in medical research
Behind every successful study is more than just a strong idea – it’s the right scientific support, the right laboratory services, and the ability to use funding effectively.
At Cardinal Bioresearch, we provide specialised clinical research support services and biomedical research support to help researchers across Australia deliver high-quality, reliable outcomes. From clinical trial support to research laboratory services, our role is to strengthen the science behind every project.
Who we are
Cardinal Bioresearch was founded in 2007 by John and Sherrell Cardinal to address a clear gap in the medical research landscape.
At the time, many researchers were highly capable on the clinical side but lacked access to the technical expertise needed for sample collection, biomarker selection, and analysis. Without proper scientific support and quality control, even promising studies risked falling short.
That’s where Cardinal Bioresearch ensures researchers have the expertise and infrastructure needed to move forward with confidence.
Changing the way research is supported
Before Cardinal Bioresearch, clinical teams often had two choices:
- Invest heavily in building their own lab capabilities
- Rely on external groups, risking delays, loss of control, or shared authorship
Our business introduced a more practical model – a dedicated, fee-for-service partner focused on delivering independent, high-quality research laboratory services.
This approach allows researchers to:
- Use their funding more efficiently
- Maintain control over their projects
- Access specialised expertise without compromise
Today, Cardinal Bioresearch continues to support medical research across Australia, helping both early-career and experienced researchers bring their work to life.
