Hooke was founded in 2007 by immunologist Suzana Marusic, MD, PhD. Hooke is named after Robert Hooke, F.R.S. (1635-1703), the world’s first professional scientist and discoverer of the cell.

The company has three lines of business – we’re a full-service pre-clinical CRO specializing in rodent models of inflammation and autoimmune diseases, our product business offers antigens, tissues, and reagents to researchers worldwide, and we offer an extensive array of histology, IHC, and pathology services. Our CRO customers include leading international pharmas, venture-funded biotechs, universities, and small startups. Our product customers are even more diverse, and include university, foundation, and commercial scientists.

We’re always interested in offering new products, and running new projects, within our expertise, that will help advance research – contact us to discuss your needs.
