Process Research & Development
DSI is your drug development consulting resource. We are dedicated to helping you advancing your drug from clinical candidate selection through commercial success, and help you work with your CMOs identified as best fit for your specific project needs. CMOs we recommend are organized and managed by experienced analytical and process development chemists and pharmacists to tackle questions that can only be answered by experiment. Moreover, drawing on the experience of our project managers and the consulting expertise at DSI, we’ll make sure the right experiments are done and the correct conclusions drawn from the results.
Your project will follow a well-defined and effective road map, with emphasis on open and consistent communication. Our structured approach to project management delivers efficient and timely monitoring of scientific progress, coupled with tight tracking of both project cost and scope. DSI subject matter experts can supplement the experience and efforts of your own development group or fulfill all the roles of a complete process and analytical development group many of today’s emerging companies require.
