TECHNOLOGY NEWS
For International Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology companies one or more of the following opportunities available from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region, for collaborations in lead discovery/development and for clinical trials may be of interest:
Bioactives from Temperate/Cool Zone Natural Sources
Private laboratory with solid background in identifying and profiling bioactive molecules derived from natural sources can offer:
- Bioactive compounds from unique protected indigenous New Zealand flora and fauna, obtained through official legally authorized access.
- Extensive research experience in lead compound discovery, focusing on natural sources not found elsewhere in the world.
- Access to diverse and unique protected indigenous flora and fauna sources which include microbes and invertebrates from Antarctica.
- Proprietary HTS / assay capabilities.
Bioactives from Tropical Natural Sources
Laboratory specializing in discovery and early stage development of small molecule bioactive lead compounds from tropical sources (including tropical rainforest plants and rainforest fungi) is seeking to partner with companies, at early preclinical stage, that have the ability to further develop and market products (e.g. oncology compounds) post-proof of principle.
Bioactives from Tropical/Sub-Tropical Marine Sources (Extracts)
- Laboratory active in early stage natural products discovery from organisms found in tropical/sub-tropical marine environments.
- Extracts screened for antimicrobial and antineoplastic biological activity in molecular and cell-based assays, are available for further investigation.
- Laboratory is interested in contacts with potential industry partners active in development of natural product bioactive based pharmaceuticals.
Bioactives from Temperate/Cool Zone Marine Sources
- Marine species toxins showing activity in the areas of oncology and neuroscience.
- Compounds isolated have been described as “potent” toxins.
Clinical Trials / Clinical Research Services
Clinical trial (phase I to IV studies) medical expertise and study / site management services are available in Australia and New Zealand:
- Oncology, Endocrinology, Urology, Neurology, Psychiatry, Respiratory and Cardiovascular pharmaceuticals and medical devices areas.
- Trials planned and managed to comply with requirements relevant to sponsor’s needs.
- Clinicians and local project managers have previously completed clinical trials meeting FDA and EU specifications.
- Experience in arranging local Ethics Committees certifications and Regulatory Authority approvals to trial unregistered formulations.
Competitive cost advantages as well as timeliness of delivery and quality of the services provided, make Australia and New Zealand attractive options to consider when outsourcing projects.
