Center for Pharma Crystallization

Headed by world class scientists, the Center for Pharma Crystallization (CfPC) is a recognized industry leader in solid form studies, crystallization process development, pre-formulation evaluation, particle engineering and DS-DS co-processing.

JS-C-8092

Drug Product Development

With the ability to develop both Drug Substance (DS) and Drug product (DP) under the same umbrella, our team enjoys a synergism absent in most CROs. The ability to bridge the DS/DP interface is a major competitive advantage in our ability to shorten development timeline and improve ruggedness of the DP process.

cGMP Intermediate & API Production

Once a practical synthetic route has been demonstrated and the critical process research required for scale-up has been performed, J-STAR can then provide API prepared under cGMP guidelines to support Phase I human clinical trials. This is typically done after supplying material for GLP toxicology studies.
