Since 2006, BioDuro has been building in vitro ADME and PK study capabilities to support internal integrated medicinal chemistry programs and to provide a platform for external clients for early drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) screening. More than two-thirds of the team have postgraduate degrees and 15 percent have international training and/or experience.

We have established and validated a panel of in vitro assays, and provide services for international pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. We offer a variety of services, including:

In vitro ADME
