        THE COMPANY'S 2000 ANNUAL REPORT ACCOMPANIES THE PROXY STATEMENT.




                         BIO-IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                            826 Newtown-Yardley Road

                                 PROXY STATEMENT

                 -----------------------------------------------

      This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection  with the  solicitation by
the Board of Directors of  Bio-Imaging  Technologies,  Inc.  (the  "Company") of
proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of  Stockholders  of the Company to be
held on Friday,  February 23, 2001 (the "Meeting"),  at the Company's  executive
offices at 826 Newtown-Yardley Road, Newtown,  Pennsylvania, at 9:00 A.M., local
time,  and at any  adjournment  or  adjournments  thereof.  Holders of record of
Common Stock,  $0.00025 par value ("Common Stock"),  as of the close of business
on January 12, 2001 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and
any adjournment or adjournments  thereof.  As of that date, there were 8,190,545
shares of Common Stock issued and  outstanding  and entitled to vote. Each share
of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on any matter  presented at the Meeting.
The aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting is 8,190,545.

      If proxies in the  accompanying  form are properly  executed and returned,
the  shares of Common  Stock  represented  thereby  will be voted in the  manner
specified  therein.  If not  otherwise  specified,  the  shares of Common  Stock
represented  by the  proxies  will be voted  (i) FOR the  election  of the seven
nominees named below as Directors,  (ii) FOR the ratification of the appointment
of Arthur  Andersen LLP, as independent  auditors for the year ending  September
30, 2001,  and (iii) in the discretion of the persons named in the enclosed form
of proxy,  on any other  proposals which may properly come before the Meeting or
any  adjournment or  adjournments  thereof.  Any Stockholder who has submitted a
proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted, by written notice  addressed
to and received by the  Secretary of the Company,  by submitting a duly executed
proxy bearing a later date or by electing to vote in person at the Meeting.  The
mere presence at the Meeting of the person appointing a proxy does not, however,
revoke the appointment.

      The presence,  in person or by proxy, of holders of shares of Common Stock
having  a  majority  of the  votes  entitled  to be  cast at the  Meeting  shall
constitute a quorum.  The affirmative  vote by the holders of a plurality of the
shares of Common Stock  represented  at the Meeting is required for the election
of  directors,  provided a quorum is  present in person or by proxy.  Provided a
quorum is present in person or by proxy, all actions proposed herein, other than
the  election  of  directors,   may  be  taken  upon  the  affirmative  vote  of
Stockholders  possessing  a majority  of the  voting  power  represented  at the
Meeting.

      Abstentions are included in the shares present at the Meeting for purposes
of  determining  whether a quorum is present,  and are counted as a vote against
for purposes of  determining  whether a proposal is approved.  Broker  non-votes
(when shares are represented at the Meeting by a proxy  specifically  conferring
only limited  authority  to vote on certain  matters and no authority to vote on
other  matters)  are  included  in the  determination  of the  number  of shares
represented  at the Meeting  for  purposes  of  determining  whether a quorum is
present but are not counted for purposes of  determining  whether a proposal has
been approved and thus have no effect on the outcome.

      This Proxy  Statement,  together  with the related  proxy  card,  is being
mailed to the  Stockholders  of the Company on or about  January 19,  2001.  The
Annual Report to Stockholders of the Company for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2000 ("Fiscal 2000"),  including financial statements (the "Annual Report"),
is being mailed together with this Proxy Statement to all Stockholders of record
as of January 12, 2001. In addition, the Company has provided brokers,  dealers,
banks,  voting  trustees and their  nominees,  at the  Company's  expense,  with
additional  copies of the Annual Report so that such record holders could supply
such materials to beneficial owners as of January 12, 2001.

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     At the  Meeting,  seven  Directors  are to be elected  (which  number shall
constitute  the entire  Board of  Directors of the Company) to hold office until
the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders  and until their  successors  shall have
been elected and qualified.

     It is the  intention of the persons  named in the enclosed form of proxy to
vote the stock represented thereby, unless otherwise specified in the proxy, for
the  election as  Directors of the persons  whose names and  biographies  appear
below.  All of the  persons  whose  names and  biographies  appear  below are at
present Directors of the Company. In the event any of the nominees should become
unavailable or unable to serve as a director,  it is intended that votes will be
cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors  has no reason to believe  that the  nominees  named will be unable to
serve if elected.  Each of the  nominees  has  consented  to being named in this
Proxy Statement and to serve if elected.

     The current  Board of Directors  and nominees for election to the Board are
as follows:

all rights under its agreement with the Company for subsequent years.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS  RECOMMENDS THAT  STOCKHOLDERS  VOTE FOR EACH OF THE
NOMINEES FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.


COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS OF THE BOARD

     There were six  meetings  of the Board of  Directors  during  Fiscal  2000.
During this period, each member of the Board of Directors attended more than 75%
of the  aggregate of: (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors
(held during the period for which such person has been a Director); and (ii) the
total number of meetings held by all  Committees of the Board on which each such
Director served (during the periods such Director served).


                                       3


     The Board of Directors has two standing  committees:  the  Compensation/ISO
Committee and the Audit Committee.

     Audit Committee.  The primary  responsibilities of the Audit Committee,  as
     ---------------
more fully set forth in the Audit  Committee  Charter  adopted by the Company on
September 1, 2000 and attached  hereto as Appendix A, include:  (i)  evaluating,
and  recommending  to the Board of Directors  the  engagement  of the  Company's
independent  auditors;  (ii) reviewing the results of their audit findings;  and
(iii) monitoring on a periodic basis the internal controls of the Company.

     Each  Audit  Committee  Member  is an  independent  member  of the Board of
Directors  as  defined  in  Rule  4200(a)(15)  of the  National  Association  of
Securities Dealers' listing standards.  As an independent  director of the Board
of Directors of the Company,  each Audit  Committee  Member is not an officer or
employee  of the  Company or its  subsidiaries  or does not have a  relationship
which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors,  would interfere with
the exercise of independent  judgement in carrying out the responsibilities of a
director.  The Audit  Committee held four meetings during Fiscal 2000. The Audit
Committee is currently comprised of Dr. Nowicki and Mr. Berger.

     Compensation / ISO  Committee.   The  Compensation / ISO  Committee   makes
     -----------------------------
recommendations  concerning  salaries and incentive  compensation for management
and employees of the Company and  administers  the  Company's  1991 Stock Option
Plan,  as amended  (the  "Plan").  The  Compensation/ISO  Committee is currently
comprised  of Drs.  Berg and Taylor.  The  Compensation/ISO  Committee  held two
meetings in Fiscal 2000.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

TRANSACTIONS WITH IPA

     On December 21, 1995, the Investment  Partners of America ("IPA") purchased
416,667 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock,  $0.00025
par value (the  "Series A Stock").  The Series A Stock  provided  for (i) voting
rights on an  as-converted  to Common  Stock  basis,  with  standard  protective
provisions;   (ii)  a  liquidation   preference   of  $1.20  per  share;   (iii)
anti-dilution  protection  and  price  protection  provisions;  (iv)  cumulative
dividends of $0.096 per share per annum,  payable out of funds legally available
for the payment of dividends and only upon declaration of dividends by the Board
of Directors of the Company; and (v) certain registration rights with respect to
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Stock. Dividends
are  payable  in  cash  or in  the  Company's  Common  Stock  at  the  Company's
discretion.  The Series A Stock is convertible  into shares of Common Stock on a
one-for-one  basis. The Company has the option to require full conversion of the
Series A Stock at any time after five years from the date of issuance.

                                       9


     On January 2, 2001,  the Company  elected to convert the 416,667  shares of
its  Series A Stock  held of record  by IPA into  416,667  shares of its  Common
Stock.  The shares of Common Stock issued upon  conversion of the Series A Stock
were issued to the  designees  of IPA and have certain  piggy-back  registration
rights.  The Company  has  satisfied  any and all  obligations  with  respect to
cumulative  dividends  on the Series A Stock.  The  Company has not and will not
receive any  consideration for the conversion of the Series A Stock. The Company
has not and will not receive any of the  proceeds  from any sales of such shares
of Common Stock by IPA or its designees. The Company currently has no issued and
outstanding shares of Series A Stock.

     On June 26, 1996,  the Company  issued to IPA, one  five-year  warrant (the
"Class C Warrants") to purchase  66,667 shares of the Company's  Common Stock at
an initial  exercise  price of $1.05 per  share,  the fair  market  value of the
Company's  Common Stock at date of issuance.  The exercise price of this warrant
issued to IPA is subject to adjustment to protect against  dilution in the event
of certain  transactions  and the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of
the warrant have certain  piggyback  registration  rights.  As of September  30,
2000, the adjusted exercise price of the Class C Warrants was $0.63. The Class C
Warrants  contain  certain  maintenance  rights  pursuant  to which,  subject to
certain  conditions,  whenever the Company proposes to issue new securities,  it
must first offer to IPA the right to purchase,  on the same terms as are offered
to the other purchasers of the new securities,  such number of new securities as
are required to ensure that IPA's  percentage  ownership of the Company shall be
the same after the proposed sale as it was prior to such sale. As of January 12,
2001,  IPA did not  exercise  the  Class C  Warrants  held of  record  by IPA to
purchase  66,667 shares of the Company's  Common Stock.  The Company has not and
will not  receive  any of the  proceeds  from any sales of such shares of Common
Stock by IPA or its designees.


TRANSACTIONS WITH COVANCE

     On October 13, 1994, the Company and Covance Inc. entered into an agreement
whereby Covance  purchased;  (i) 2,355,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock,
$0.00025 par value,  (ii) a warrant to purchase  250,000  shares of Common Stock
with an  initial  exercise  price of $1.25 per  share  and  (iii) a  warrant  to
purchase  250,000 shares of Common Stock with an initial exercise price of $1.50
per share (the "Warrants"),  for an aggregate purchase price of $1,819,500.  The
Warrants expired on October 13, 1998 without being exercised.

                         BIO-IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                            (A DELAWARE CORPORATION)
                             AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

PREAMBLE AND AUTHORITY

     Primary  responsibility  for  implementation  of Bio-Imaging  Technologies,
Inc.'s (the  "Corporation")  financial reporting and internal operating controls
is vested in senior  operating  management as overseen by the Board of Directors
(the "Board") on behalf of the  shareholders.  The Board has therefore  directed
that the Audit Committee (the  "Committee"),  a standing committee of the Board,
function  as  overseer  of the  Corporation's  financial  reporting  process and
internal  controls.   The  outside  auditors  are  ultimately   responsible  and
accountable  to the Board and the  Committee  rather than the  management of the
Corporation.  Therefore,  the Committee shall periodically evaluate and annually
nominate  to the Board the  outside  auditors  to be  proposed  for  stockholder
approval and nominate the outside  legal  counsel as it relates to matters under
the jurisdiction of the Audit Committee.

     The audit committee shall provide assistance to the corporate  directors in
fulfilling their statutory and fiduciary  responsibilities  to the shareholders,
potential   shareholders,   and  investment   community  relating  to  corporate
accounting,  and the quality and integrity of the financial practices,  controls
and reports of the  Corporation.  In so doing, the Committee shall maintain free
and open lines of communication and functional working relationships between the
directors,  the outside auditors,  the internal auditors,  outside legal counsel
and the management of the  Corporation.  Management  shall therefore insure that
the audit committee is given both the resources and the  unrestricted  access to
Corporation  documents,  personnel and corporate advisors necessary to discharge
the  committee's  responsibilities.  The  Committee  shall have the authority to
utilize  additional outside  accountants,  attorneys or other advisors to assist
the  Committee in special  circumstances  approved by the majority of the Board.
Consistent  with the  Board  adopted  principles  of  Policy  Governance,  it is
incumbent  on the audit  committee  to fulfill  its  oversight  responsibilities
without   unnecessary  or  inappropriate   interference   with  the  appropriate
operational prerogatives of corporate management.

     Most meetings with outside  auditors and/or legal counsel will be conducted
in the  presence  of the Chief  Financial  Officer,  or such  similar  executive
officer, and other members of management.  The Committee shall also periodically
meet  the  outside  auditors  and/or  legal  counsel  without  the  presence  of
management to determine  whether the outside  auditors  and/or legal counsel had
the full  cooperation  of  management,  if there are any matters  regarding  the
Corporation  and its  financial  and legal  affairs and  records  that raise the
concern of these outside advisors and whether the appropriate accounting systems
and  controls  are in place or need  revision in the  judgment  of such  outside
auditors and legal counsel.

     The Committee  shall meet at least  quarterly,  prior to the 10-QSB filings
with the SEC,  to review the annual  audit  prior to filing  Form 10-KSB and, as
necessary,  at the call of the Board. The Committee shall submit a report to the
Board subsequent to any Committee  meeting or  investigation.  The Committee and
the Board of Directors shall review and reassess this Charter on an annual basis
and  evaluate the  performance  of the  Committee  and its' members on an annual
basis.


MEMBERSHIP

     The Committee shall be composed of at least two "independent"  directors as
defined in NASDAQ listing  standards  regarding  audit  committees  requirements
(Rule  4200  (15)).  The  members  of the  Committee  shall  have  a  sufficient
understanding  of  financial   reporting  and  internal  control  principles  to
understand and help deal with material financial  reporting and internal control
issues.  At least one (1) member of the  Committee  shall  have past  employment
experience in finance or accounting,  requisite  professional  certification  in
accounting,  or any other comparable experience or background,  which results in
the individual's financial sophistication.

     "Independent  director" means a person other than an officer or employee of

     than those arising solely from investments in the Corporation's securities)
     that exceed  five  percent  (5%) of the  Corporation's  consolidated  gross
     revenues for that year, or $200,000,  whichever is more, in any of the past
     three (3) years; or

          (e) a director who is employed as an executive of another entity where
     any of the  Corporation's  executives  serve on that entity's  compensation
     committee.

     Committee   shall  review  with  the  outside   auditors  any  problems  or
     difficulties  that the outside  auditors may have encountered in conducting
     the audit.  With respect to any areas identified as requiring special audit

related  management  commentaries  are in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.  The discussion should include such issues as the clarity
of the  Corporation's  financial  disclosures and degree of  reasonableness  and

other  significant  decisions  made by  management  in preparing  the  financial
disclosure forms.

     (6) The Audit  Committee  shall  review  with  management  and the  outside

regarding the existence of any significant  accounting  accruals,  reserves,  or
estimates  made by  management  that had or may have a  material  impact  on the
financial  statements.  In addition,  the Committee  must review and approve the
outside auditor's  recommendations  regarding unrecorded  adjustments which were
identified  by either  management  or the outside  auditors,  ensuring  that the
requirements of SAB No. 99 have been met as to materiality.  The Committee shall
discuss with  management  and the outside  auditors each recorded and unrecorded
adjustment  and  any  control  process   deficiencies  that  gave  rise  to  the
adjustment.

     (8) The Committee  shall inquire of management and the outside  auditors if
there  were any  significant  reporting  or  operational  issues  affecting  the
financial  statements  that were discussed with the outside  auditors during the
accounting period and, if so, how they were resolved.

     (9) The Committee  shall receive from  management a notification  of issues
and  responses  whenever  management  seeks a  second  opinion  from an  outside
auditor.
