We support your clinical and preclinical activities in the fields of dermatology, metabolic research and neurology by providing customized PK/PD studies, bioanalyses, data management and statistical services. 

Our Focus Areas

We work on innovative solutions and focus on our core competencies in the following areas: 

  • Pharmacological Research in the Skin

We are investigating pharmacological principles of the skin to enable the development of effective and affordable therapies with minimal side effects for people with skin diseases.

  • Pharmacological Research in the Brain

We are doing pharmacological research in the healthy and the diseased brain to enable the development of effective therapies that can be tailored to each individual patient with a neurological disease.

  • Metabolic Research

We are applying our technologies to investigate the basic principles of metabolism and thus enable new treatments of widespread metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, as well as an improvement in general aging processes.

  • Digital Healthcare

We contribute to a meaningful digitization of processes and decisions in healthcare to improve the quality of treatment while giving staff more time to work with people.
