Pharmaceutical Medicine
Pharmaceutical medicine is a listed medical specialty in the UK, Ireland, Switzerland, and Mexico. This official recognition is underlined by the availability of accredited education and training of specialist pharmaceutical physicians and the establishment and maintenance of standards of practice and professionalism in the competency, care, and conduct applied to their work and of growing public recognition and accountability. In the UK, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians provides accreditation for the specialty.
We act as a Contract Research Organization
In the life sciences, a contract research organization is a company that provides support to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries in the form of research services outsourced on a contract basis. We provide support to the above mentioned industries in the form of research services outsourced on a contract basis. Clinical outsourcing occurs when a company hires another company made up of researchers and experts to conduct comprehensive and complex medical research so that the hiring company does not have to staff experts in-house, or maintain the required infrastructure and office space. As a CRO we reduce the cost of research and development to help businesses and other institutions meet the needs of the evolving medical device and pharma industry.
Translational Science
It includes the application of research findings from genes, proteins, cells, tissues, organs, and animals, to clinical research in patient populations, all aimed at optimizing and predicting outcomes in specific patients. Developing treatments that take individual variability into account has given rise to this new discipline in science. Scientists in this fieldwork translate biological phenomena into targeted, evidence-based medicines that improve health and treat disease by more optimally matching drugs and individuals.
Drug repurposing
Many agents approved for other uses already have been tested in humans, so detailed information is available on their pharmacology, formulation, and potential toxicity. Because repurposing builds upon previous research and development efforts, new candidate therapies could be ready for clinical trials quickly, speeding their review by the EMA / FDA and, if approved, their integration into health care. Discoveries about the molecular basis of disease provide unprecedented opportunities to translate research findings into new medicines.
Drug development
This is the process of bringing a new pharmaceutical drug to the market once a lead compound has been identified through the process of drug discovery. It includes preclinical research, filing for regulatory status such as via the FDA/EMA for an investigational new drug to initiate clinical trials on humans, and may include the step of obtaining regulatory approval with a new drug application to market the drug.
Pharmacoeconomics
It refers to the scientific discipline that compares the value of one pharmaceutical drug or drug therapy to another. It is a sub-discipline of health economics. A pharmacoeconomic study evaluates the cost (expressed in monetary terms) and effects (expressed in terms of monetary value, efficacy, or enhanced quality of life) of a pharmaceutical product. Pharmacoeconomic studies serve to guide optimal healthcare resource allocation, in a standardized and scientifically grounded manner.
