Description
Red Glead Discovery
Red Glead Discovery is a drug discovery company focused on development of therapies based on small molecules and peptides. Based on strong in-house laboratory capabilities, drug dsicvery expertise and solid industrial working knowledge of project leadership and IP protection, we perform a dual business model:
Offering of high-quality, cross-functional preclinical drug discovery services (CRO)
Internal discovery programs focussed on generating high-quality lead compounds or clinical candidates often in collaboration with academic groups.
Both the services and projects are offered to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and organisations, preferably in a collaborative fashion. An expert area is generation of chemical starting points for drug targets and to develop them into patentable lead compounds with drug-like properties and low risk profile. These activities are supported by a versatile platform for fragment-based lead discovery that we share and continuously develop together with SARomics Biostructures. Our project management skills and cross-disciplinary capabilities make us a preferred partner for clients and partners that want to develop compounds with desired properties and high potential to become successful drugs.
