\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\tMoving out to the PCB illustrates well ESTEVE’s bet on research as the company’s raison d’\u00eatre despite the current socio-economic difficulties, and as a way to ensure long-term sustainability. Indeed, one of the keys to sustainability is the ability to provide innovative solutions to unmet medical needs. At this new center, the Company expects to increase R&D-related performance, improve the general productivity involved in the drug discovery and development process, and reduce time to market. <\/p>\n
The agreement reached between ESTEVE and the PCB-UB has allowed both entities to formalize a commitment for research in our country. It is undoubtedly the very first alliance whereby a large pharmaceutical company locates all its key units of competency for drug discovery and preclinical development (including medical chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, metabolism, toxicology, molecular modeling, and knowledge management) in a top-level academic\/scientific environment in Spain. <\/p>\n
The decision to transfer this R&D team to the PCB was based on different factors, such as the PCB’s excellent infrastructures, the advantages of working in a top-level scientific\/technical environment and a common space shared with academicians, researchers, young talented people and entrepreneurial organizations to interact within a powerful innovation ecosystem framework. <\/p>\n
It also represents one more step towards a single open innovation model in the field of pharmaceutical R&D in our country. This model goes beyond traditional university-company collaboration and becomes a symbiotic relationship likely to boost the skills and efficiency of all the parties involved. <\/p>\n
ESTEVE’s R&D core strategy rests on collaborations and strategic alliances with universities, public research centers, technology-based companies and other companies of the sector, both in Spain and abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
