How we work
A structured R&D pathway from screening to prototype testing
01. How it works
From first call to commercial application.
Each collaboration follows a structured R&D pathway designed to assess technical feasibility step by step. Each phase has a clear objective, defined outputs and a decision point before further development is considered.
- 4
- Steps from first definition to next-pathway decision
- NDA
- Confidentiality from the second conversation onward
- R&D
- Lab-scale prototypes for evaluation, not GMP production
- License
- Time-limited option after validation
02. The pathway
Four steps, one clear route.
- 01
Define
Understand the active, target product format and formulation challenge.
- 02
Feasibility
Define the formulation approach, development objectives and success criteria.
- 03
Develop & characterize
Develop and characterize an R&D-scale prototype against agreed criteria.
- 04
Next pathway
Based on the results, determine whether further optimization, co-development, technology transfer or future licensing is appropriate.
