For Enterprise & Global Brands
Accelerate R&D with AI, biology and laboratory science
Established brands rarely arrive asking where to start. They arrive with a specific R&D problem: a discovery cycle that is too slow, a claim that needs independent evidence, a formulation that has plateaued, or a sustainability commitment that needs a credible ingredient substitution. We work as a scientific partner alongside internal R&D teams, at whichever stage the problem sits.
01
Accelerate discovery
Shorten the search for a novel active by screening computationally before committing laboratory time.
02
Develop a novel active
Design and characterise an ingredient that does not yet exist commercially, including peptides and small molecules.
03
Validate biological activity
Confirm mechanism in relevant models before the claim is written, using established or bespoke assays.
04
License a proven technology
Where a validated active already exists, license it rather than developing from scratch.
05
Build the scientific evidence
Independent, citable data for claim substantiation, IP position and regulatory files.
Discuss an R&D partnership
Tell us the problem rather than the brief. We will tell you honestly whether it is a discovery question, a testing question or a formulation question, and what evidence it would take to answer.
