Medway Centre for Pharmaceutical Sciences
The group works on the development of novel therapies for various applications such as anticancer delivery and wound healing using advanced technologies to enhance efficacy and reduce risk to patients.
The Medway Centre for Pharmaceutical Science positions itself between discovery/biotech organisations and clinical research. Our goal is to use small quantities of chemical or biological active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and advanced pharmaceutical sciences to produce formulations for toxicology and exploratory clinical development.
Most importantly, our expertise ensures that only formulations with commercial potential progress further in development.
