Reshaping Medicines Discovery...
It's ambitious, it's achievable

As an SME, working with MDC allows us access to scientific know-how and in vivo imaging techniques that would be impossible through any other route. The closeness, timeliness and flexibility of the collaboration significantly accelerates our ability to develop product. MDC perform an absolutely vital role in supporting us getting our novel treatments to clinical trials.

It has been a pleasure working with MDC as their scientists are pleasant and have a broad range of talents. Importantly for projects like ours, they openly and professionally exchange ideas with SMi’s scientific team and keep us abreast of their research developments. Not surprisingly, we are therefore looking forward to continuing and growing our close partnerships for the foreseeable future.

For early-stage SMEs in this space, I thoroughly recommend engaging with MDC who have the end-to-end knowledge in complex medicines, can support your in-house team and provide access to key equipment that start-ups may not have.
