 regulatory bodies, and those third parties may not perform satisfactorily. We expect to rely on third parties such as contract research organizations, medical institutions and clinical investigators to conduct studies. Our reliance on these third parties for clinical development activities will reduce our control over these activities. We may not be able to secure partnerships or agreements with these third parties, or these third parties may not complete activities on schedule or conduct studies in accordance with regulatory requirements or our study design. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of our requirement to prepare, and ensure our compliance with, various procedures required under good clinical practices, even though third -partycontract research organizations may prepare and comply with their own, comparable procedures. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or regulatory obligations or meet expected deadlines, if the third parties need to be replaced or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or regulatory requirements or for other reasons, our studies may be extended, delayed, suspended or terminated, and we may not be able to obtain a required regulatory approval.

In Latin America, our diagnostic tests are primarily developed and validated through our partner laboratories, such as CIBIC in Argentina, where the laboratory assumes responsibility for ensuring compliance with local regulatory and licensing requirements. For example, CIBIC maintains authorizations from the appropriate local authorities, including the Colegio de Bioquímicos and the Colegio de Médicos, and employs licensed professionals authorized to sign off on diagnostic reports, regardless of whether the test was originally developed by CIBIC or another entity. This ensures that the diagnostic tests meet the required standards for use in each country. If there are issues with third parties like CIBIC who provide these services, then we could face significant disruptions in our operations, which could negatively affect us and our financial results. We work closely with its laboratory partners to ensure that any diagnostic test developed for use in Latin American markets adheres to applicable regulations within that jurisdiction. Our goal is to develop and
