Therapeutic Areas
Overview
Therapeutic drugs often exhibit unique pharmacokinetic profiles in different disease areas. We have gained extensive experience through years of research projects that cover various therapeutic areas such as anti-tumor, anti-infection, ophthalmic, transdermal, respiratory, and neurosciences. Our dedicated research teams for each therapeutic area, including study directors, experiment scientists, and analysts, have developed customized research strategies, optimized and validated suitable study protocols, and mastered demanding study techniques. In addition, we have established advanced instrument platforms for sample collection, processing, and analysis.
We are capable of assisting our clients in all stages of research needs, including compound screening, optimization, and IND filing. We have accumulated extensive experience in providing integrated solutions for our clients by collaborating with many internal departments, including pharmacodynamics, formulation, and toxicology.
