Physiomics plc combines systems biology with cutting edge mathematics to develop models that streamline the drug discovery and development process. Virtual Tumour, the company’s lead service, is used to optimise the dosing and scheduling of oncology drugs in pre-clinical trials, reducing the need for animal experiments. This optimisation also improves the efficacy of combinations in pre-clinical xenografts.
The company is also developing:
(i) Virtual Tumour Clinical, to directly predict optimal regimens for human clinical trials.
(ii) Cardiac tox prediction service, to predict unwanted toxic side effects of drug candidates early on in the drug discovery process.
(iii) Drug combinations database, for researchers and clinicians to rapidly access literature data on pre-clinical and clinical regimens and their effects.
Physiomics has worked with Eli Lilly since 2007 and recently added a further two large pharmaceutical clients. In addition, Physiomics has collaborated with a number of other companies including Bayer Technology Services, Sareum, ValiRx, Cancer Research Technologies and Cyclacel. Fee-for-service, licensing and revenue sharing options are available.

Molecular Profiles provides contract development and manufacturing services for clients globally. We specialise in early development and clinical trial manufacturing up to phase IIb and have expertise in understanding and formulating drug candidates that possess challenging characteristics. Our experience and capabilities provide the following product outputs; solid oral dosage forms for immediate and modified release, topicals, liquids and DPI products, we also utilise Xcelodose precision dosing for rapid development of low dose clinical trial supplies. Our facilities can handle potent candidates and controlled drug substances.
We utilise the most appropriate formulation strategy for your drug candidate based around your quality target product profile. For example in the formulation development of poorly water soluble / bioavailable candidates this may include our expertise in nanomilling, spray drying, SEDDS, SMEDDS and other absorption enhancing approaches.
Underpinning all of our development and manufacturing expertise is a wealth of experience in materials characterisation and analysis which has been utilised to solve some of the most complex challenges in API and formulation development. Our renowned problem to solution approach has been utilised on over a 1000 development projects and also in establishing the patent position for commercialised blockbuster products.
