Secure global competitiveness in developing chemically synthesized pharmaceutical products

Support for drug development through chemical synthesis using molecular targeted therapy
Support for candidates optimization, one of the most difficult aspects of the domestic new drug development industry
Pharmacological assessment of three major diseases (tumors, diabetes and metabolic diseases, and brain and neurological disorders)

About the New Drug Development Center

Purpose of establishment

Building a new, world-class drug infrastructure to support the development of clinical drug candidates, a vulnerable field in the domestic drug development process.

Major functions

  • By building infrastructure on a global scale to support the development of new drug candidates, the New Drug Development Center accelerates the drug discovery process and facilitates the transfer of technologies to pharmaceutical firms.
  • The center provides basic technologies for the generation of drug candidates such as molecular modeling, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacological assays, pre-clinical safety evaluations, biophysical characterizations, initial formulations, process chemistry, and more.

Supporting government ministries
