RESPIRATORY RESEARCH


Pharmidex provides unique solutions and extensive experience, to support the pre-clinical progression of candidate therapeutics for target areas of unmet medical need within the respiratory disease area, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic cough and pulmonary infection.


Experts in providing translatable respiratory disease models. We combine our specialist knowledge, across different disciplines, to provide PK, PD, target engagement and efficacy information for drugs to to progress through to clinical development. 


Respiratory diseases are increasing in prevalence around the globe and affect millions of people annually.
