Holistic drug discovery to create new drug candidates
- Medicinal chemistry from hit validation to candidate selection
- Expertise on many biomolecular targets across all main therapeutic areas
- Partners for outsourcing disease biology, HTS, ADME, DMPK, X-ray crystallography, computational chemistry, molecular modeling and GMP Manufacturing
- Strong track record in compound library design and production by parallel syntheses
- Excellence in synthetic chemistry, process development as well as scale up to pilot plant
- Preclinical Development in Solid-state chemistry, early formulation and ex-vivo toxicology
As Taros concentrates on drug discovery chemistry as core disciplines, discovery biology is typically outsourced to trusted and well-established partners as well as Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK), Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion (ADME), X-ray crystallography, and physico-chemical properties determinations. Taros’ Scientists worked on targets from all major gene families and across main therapeutic areas, such as oncology, neuroscience, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, inflammation, autoimmune disorders and genetic and rare diseases. Our team with a diverse educational and cultural background stays up to date with recent trends in academia and industry on a routine basis. As a guiding principle, our scientists are focusing on scientific excellence and quality of our timely work results in all of Taros’ partnerships and collaborations.
Strong alliances and partnerships complement each other for your success
Together with our partners, we select the right set of drug discovery approaches and derive a coherent lead identification and optimization strategy based on available project and target information. Predefined criteria for meeting milestones and decision gates are typically agreed upon at the initiation of any project.
We are entertaining a strong network with academia, pharma partners and within the private-public partnership sector. Our alliances also encompass a broad range of chemical biology expertise, such as biocatalysis & metabolite identification, surface chemistry for mammalian cell handling, peptidomimetics, mimicking the hypervariable domain of antibodies (Abs) and fragments antigen binding (Fabs), therapeutic peptide approaches, design of ligands and precursors for positron emission tomography (PET) studies, as well as regenerative medicine approaches.
- Veteran management team and highly qualified scientists with relevant industry experience and a drug-hunting mentality
- We are success-oriented and open-minded towards the type of drug discovery approach
- Well-established network of partners for outsourcing disease biology, ADME, DMPK, etc.
- Strong academic and industrial alliances encompassing a broad range of structural and chemical biology expertise, such as metabolite identification, therapeutic peptides, etc.
- Experienced in the management of great research consortia like the European Lead Factory (ELF) consisting of 30 Partners
- 20 years of excellence in custom synthesis and organic chemistry research ensure molecules with optimised properties and patentability
- Our own multi-purpose pilot plant facility in Asia for large-scale syntheses grants us access to a broad supplier network for building blocks, etc.
