For more than twelve years ChiroBlock has been working at the intersection of basic research at public institutes and the product development at manufacturers. ChiroBlock, as a leading European chemical research & synthesis company, offers the possibility for companies from different industries to implement state-of-the-art technologies and specialist expertise on sophisticated exclusive custom syntheses (http://www.chiroblock.de/en/contract_synthesis_research/) without further investments. We offer our services and know-how to research departments of various industry branches, such as international pharmaceutical companies, the life-science industry, biotech start-ups and innovative companies in the fields of ‘new materials’, sensors, cosmetics and others. The variety of our customers helps us to develop a wide range of new technologies and has positive consequences for unbiased, flexible approaches and really new IP. We are convinced that our customers need a reliable partner to ensure calculable R&D costs and a minimum of risk. For this reason we decided to focus on the crucial very first steps in chemical development. Here, every invested cent will pay off many times later on, when a compound is needed on larger scale.
