Solutions to Support Your Research from Target Discovery to Manufacturing

Stages of Drug Discovery and Development

Target Discovery: Identification and Validation
Identifying a potential drug target for a disease or condition for which no treatment exists or current therapies are inadequate

Preclinical Research
Animal studies plus cellular and biochemical assays to characterize the pharmacology of lead drug candidates including toxicity, PK/PD, ADME, and NOAEL

Process Development and Scale-Up
Production of increasing quantities of a candidate drug from discovery through development, trials, and approval

Lead Discovery: Screening and Optimization
Therapeutic lead identification and screening to determine biological activity, selectivity, toxicity, and mechanism of action

Clinical Research
Testing of a new drug candidate in humans to evaluate the safety and efficacy in treating or preventing a disease, dosing regimen, and side effects

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Release Testing
Large-scale manufacturing of a new drug, cGMP process control, product QC, and stability testing of the finished product
