Developing transformative therapies with small & mid-sized biopharma companies requires a flexible approach

Helping biotech meet critical milestones.

 

Biotechnology companies are at the epicenter of innovative drug development, with discoveries spanning from genomic medicines to first-in-class immunotherapies. Typically focused on a small portfolio of compounds, or just a single compound, in a particular therapeutic indication, many biotechs lack the full spectrum of resources or infrastructure required to bring these novel therapies to market.
