Why Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Companies Outsource Drug Discovery and Development Research to Us

Outsourcing helps pharmaceutical and biotech companies put more drug candidates in the pipeline, move those compounds through the pipeline faster, and at the same time control development costs. In many cases, the research programs at pharmaceutical companies are operating at or near capacity. Outsourcing helps them pursue the development of a greater number of compounds without taking on the added capital expense of constructing new facilities, hiring new people, and outfitting new labs with expensive equipment. In addition, outsourcing allows pharmaceutical and biotech companies to focus their internal R&D assets on core activities.
