The new lab will be operational from 1<sup>st<\/sup> June 2021, offering solid state expertise for both emerging and established pharma companies. This is part of CatSci\u2019s \u00a33 million investment plan and is another important milestone of the Company\u2019s journey to become the leading innovation partner for pharmaceutical development.<\/p>\n<p>In many cases, the qualities sought in a drug substance are not well-suited to the drug product. Through fully integrated thinking, with an excellent line of sight of the objectives and challenges of medicines development, CatSci aims to offer scientifically-led, data-backed solutions. \u00a0The new lab bolsters CatSci\u2019s material science offering, adding strategic value to the journey from molecule to medicine for all customers.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Ross Burn, CEO, said: \u201cExpanding our material science capabilities will enable us to provide a fully sustainable, integrated solution that will ultimately de-risk our customers\u2019 pharmaceutical pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur agile, end-in-mind approach adds true value to both our core customer segments: it helps maximise the chance of small molecule success for emerging pharma companies, and by taking a data-rich approach earlier in the process we can minimise risks in the latter stages of drug development for large pharma companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Robert Dennehy, Director of Crystallisation and Solid State, said: \u201cBy linking an API\u2019s physical properties and pre-formulation development, CatSci aims to break down the silos between drug substance and drug product, expediting medicines development. In addition, the crystallisation development step in small molecule drug development can be one of the most environmentally damaging and less well understood. Opening this lab expands our ability to design and develop scalable and robust crystallisations for our customers, improving the economic and environmental sustainability of their pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur experience and expertise across the CMC landscape mean that we fully understand our customers\u2019 project challenges and deliver tailored solutions right first time, every time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate, CatSci will be holding a virtual material science symposium on \u2018Material Science in Drug Development: A Holistic Approach\u2019 on 3<sup>rd<\/sup> June 2021.<\/p>\n<p>#MatSci2021<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/catsci.com\/material-science-in-drug-development-a-holistic-approach1-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Watch now!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 CatSci Ltd, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Media enquiries:<br \/>Tim Watson \/ Siobhan Sanford \/ Nathan Billis<br \/>Tel: +44 (0) 20 7457 2020<br \/>Email: CatSci@instinctif.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CatSci is enhancing its capabilities in material science to better serve its customers\u2019 needs.","protected":false},"author":[],"featured_media":6397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"by_capability":[],"by_audience":[],"class_list":["post-6404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6404"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6404\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11349,"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6404\/revisions\/11349"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media\/6397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6404"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/author?post=6404"},{"taxonomy":"by_capability","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/by_capability?post=6404"},{"taxonomy":"by_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catsci.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/by_audience?post=6404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
