Our track record and expertise in combing the appropriate scientific knowledge with the right technical processes and project management ensures on time and budget delivery of clinic ready candidates. INDiGO(R) allows our customers to seamlessly transition from candidate selection into the regulatory space and to patients efficiently and quickly." Dr Roberto Dorigatti, Senior Vice President, Integrated Development Programmes, said: "Our INDiGO(R) is a truly integrated drug development solution. It is unique in the industry and has a proven track record of success in dramatically reducing (by more than 50%) time and costs during the IND-enabling phase of development and never compromising quality and scientific integrity.
