MedChem Partners is a medicinal chemistry CRO founded in 2006 by Tsvetelina Lazarova and Steven Riesinger. The company is focused on using the extensive experience in early stage company formation and drug discovery to effectively advance small molecule candidates for clients by working closely with the client’s biology and/or chemistry resources. Our experts have extensive experience in moving projects from inception through discovery and into development up to IND enabling toxicology. At MedChem Partners, we are experts at using synthetic and medicinal chemistry to develop small molecule therapeutics. Unlike large one-stop shops that spread their attention over a variety of tasks, we focus on what we know best. Our expertise is in formulating and implementing a plan to find and optimize small molecules which interact with novel or known biological targets. Whether you already have potential molecules in mind, or have just discovered a novel target, we can develop a plan to find and optimize compounds with therapeutic potential. Since drug discovery is a multidisciplinary endeavor, we have foraged close contacts with a variety of other service providers to augment our expertise in certain areas. Since each company is focused on what it does best, this approach allows us to tap into the best talent in each area. Through out network we have access to in vitro and in vivo testing, in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetics, computer modeling and in silico prediction, formulation, scale-up and manufacturing, toxicology and regulatory filing, x-ray crystallography, intellectual property and patenting, and consultants in clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, pharmacology, and toxicology.
