Areas of practice
API Development
Processes: development, tech transfer, synthesis of reference and stable label compounds. Compounds: unnatural amino acids, macromolecules, semi-synthetics, and high-potency compounds for oncology products and intermediates.
Process Development
Adhering to ICH-Q11 guidelines for toxicological, pre-toxicological, pre-clinical and clinical studies. Develops eco-friendly processes and performs safety studies, including Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to assess shock sensitivity and energy levels. Polymorphic studies cover SXRD, PXRD, Raman spectra, FBRM and real-time reaction monitoring.
Milestone Projects
Provides synthetic support for multiple partnering programs, managing 5–6 projects concurrently.
