Our knowledge, your success
We work side by side with our partners to solve complex chemistry and development challenges. Our success stories highlight how Symeres supports biotech and pharma companies to solve complex challenges in drug discovery, pre-clinical drug development, and CMC scale-up. As a transatlantic drug discovery CRO, we work collaboratively to accelerate progress, de-risk programs, and deliver real results from early discovery through IND submission.
“If the compound can be made, Symeres will undoubtedly find out a good way to make it.” Dooyoung Jung, CEO of Pinotbio.
What do our partners say?
“They’ve always met or exceeded my expectations - that’s why I continue to come back, company after company, year after year.”
Allen Horhota, Vice-President Platform & Delivery
Seamless Therapeutics
“I would like to extend my thanks for the excellent work Symeres has done in synthesizing the API for Part 1 of our project. Your communication throughout the process was outstanding, and the sense of urgency with which you operated allowed us to complete this phase promptly and efficiently.”
Leader
Large biotech
“Through our dedicated FTE resource at Symeres we have achieved remarkable results, not only by developing a new “aspirational” synthetic route but also by significantly improving the current one to deliver a sustainable route for commercial production and giving us two options for late development.”
Associate Director
Large pharma, Europe
“The team is making short work of these targets, so we will have to start thinking of some additional targets!”
Director
Biotech
“We are developing the most complex molecule that is built at this time in the world…We work with a lot of CROs, also chemistry CROs, and so far Symeres has done the best job with respect to transparency and also to troubleshoot the problems and find a solution. Over the years we have been really impressed with the work that Symeres has done.”
Founder
Biotech
“We’ve been with them…over 10 years. The cost, the flexibility - the value is just so strong. That’s why we’ve stuck with them.”
Senior Director, CMC
Biotech
“If the compound can be made, Symeres will undoubtedly find out a good way to make it.”
Dooyoung Jung, CEO
Pinotbio
“The progression was really phenomenal. I am truly impressed. There is a world of difference between you and other CROs.”
Start-up Founder
Biotech
“A sign that things are going well - we keep coming to you. We’ve given Symeres five or six different projects already. That’s almost unheard of for us.“
