The expansion brings together formulation development and analytical testing within a single laboratory. This integrated setup is designed to accelerate decision-making, streamline workflows, and strengthen collaboration across scientific disciplines.
“With this expansion, we are strengthening our focus on early-stage integration, bringing our CDMO capabilities to clients earlier in the drug development journey,” said Anuji Abraham, Senior Director, Pharmaceutical Development, CDMO Services, Altasciences. “This enhances continuity across nonclinical and clinical programs, helping clients navigate key development milestones more efficiently and effectively.”
The enhanced laboratory supports phase-appropriate, target product profile (TPP)-driven formulation screening, tailored to both therapeutic areas and routes of administration while remaining agnostic to both. Capabilities include formulation development for small molecules, peptides, and complex modalities, as well as non-GLP and GLP toxicology samples for nonclinical studies.
Advanced screening models and integrated analytical testing support nonclinical and clinical readiness, in addition to real-time formulation decisions. By operating in a non-GLP R&D environment, clients will gain flexibility to design and optimize their products before transitioning into regulated studies.
“This expansion is not just about building additional space,” said Robert Sabelli, Co-Chief Operating Officer, Altasciences. “By continuing to invest in our team, we are growing our scientific talent and connecting our capabilities earlier in the development cycle to better support our clients—and ultimately, the patients they serve.”
