Biologics vs small molecule drugs – what’s the difference?
19 November 2018
Biologics-based drugs have been increasing their market share over the last decade and the number of companies working with biologics keeps on growing. Last year, 17 new biologics-based drugs were approved by FDA, being the highest yearly approved number of biologics so far. The advances in biotechnology and analytical techniques have facilitated the development in the field, and will most likely continue doing so in the future.Read more
The ADME-Tox e-book series completed

Our ADME-Tox e-book series, launched in April 2017, was just completed by the release of the fifth book “Permeability and transporters”. The e-book series was initiated to provide an easy-to-read source of information for those willing to learn more about ADME-Tox. The e-books have been written by our study directors, elucidating the science behind their areas of expertise for the readers.Read more
CYP induction assays – which way to go?
5 September 2018
In drug discovery and development, there are often several options available for addressing research questions, which may vary considerably in laboriousness, costs and the level of data they produce. Therefore, it is important to choose the right study set up at the right time to obtain correct and relevant answers for the project. As an example of different study approaches, let’s have a look at alternatives for studying CYP enzyme induction in vitro.Read more
Microsampling in in vivo PK studies
5 July 2018
