Flexible Contract Research

Many of Peakdale’s customers are working in the area of drug discovery and development. Some projects in this area require a flexible approach as the outputs of the project may change during the course of the project. Peakdale has taken steps to ensure that its organisational structure provides this flexibility. Each lab is run as a team with a highly experienced Technical Manager who serves as a clear point of contact for technical discussion between Peakdale’s and our customer’s scientists. Our Technical Managers have good communication and organisational skills which results in outstanding project management for our customers. This is reflected in the very high levels of customer satisfaction for which we are renown. Flexibility can also be provided by combining skills from different areas of Peakdale’s skill base – for example teaming up chemists who generate new building blocks with chemists from our parallel synthesis team to produce novel, focused libraries of drug-like molecules.

Our parallel synthesis facility takes advantage of the latest technology to generate focused libraries of drug-like molecules for drug discovery. The design of the libraries is focused using medicinal chemistry knowledge and experience. The quality of this approach is evidenced by reports of high hit rates against biological screens.

Our team at Peakdale has extensive experience in solid and solution phase parallel synthesis and can apply this to both hit discovery and lead generation. We have a full range of reaction and purification facilities and carry out full QC checks on all our compounds.

There is a great deal of diversity in the types of projects that can benefit from Peakdale’s adaptable approach including but not limited to:
