Hit to Lead
We move your identified hits forward into in vivo testing and lead optimization
As a critical phase in your drug development journey, the hit to lead phase will determine which of your promising compounds will be characterized against your targets. With a lean ethos, InnoSer is dedicated to combining our expertise with your drug development goals in the most resource efficient way. During this phase of development, different analogues of your hit will be screened for the safest and most potent candidates to move through to optimization.
Our team is well-coordinated in providing a streamlined hit to lead transition while working closely with you on a meaningful and dedicated screening system to allow for efficient hit expansion. InnoSer provides robust and unbiased experimental design, methodology, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of results to support your journey into the Lead Optimization phase.
Our Approach
We support your needs with customized solutions
Leveraging advancements in biotechnology we can harness in vitro and in vivo methods to support the development of new potential drug candidates. We support you with state-of-the-art facilities and advanced scientific expertise to make a difference and accelerate your drug development research.
Our collaborative approach ensures that you see your hit compound’s properties improve to fulfill the necessary criteria moving into the Lead Optimization phase. Using multi-parametric methods we assess potency, selectivity, pharmacokinetic and physical properties enabling you to channel your resources into compounds that show promising signs of more uniform characteristics.
