The INNOPHARMA platform is a high-throughput platform and European reference in early drug discovery. Recognized as one of the high-capacity centers of the European Research Infrastructure Consortium ERIC EU-OPENSCREEN.

Products and services

INNOPHARMA offers a wide range of capabilities covering all stages of the early drug discovery process: from target identification to preliminary safety and toxicity assessment.
We have extensive experience, accumulated by the BioFarma group through research programs and collaborations with the pharmaceutical industry. We have evaluated hundreds of thousands of compounds and dozens of biological targets, as well as developed, automated, and implemented hundreds of fully integrated assays within early drug discovery cascades.

This work has enabled, to date, seventeen New Chemical Entities (NCEs) to advance to clinical trials thanks to successful public-private collaborations.

Areas of interest for future collaborations

Innopharma is interested in collaborating with academic groups,  biotech and pharmaceutical companies that need an expert and capable partner to effectively carry out hit finding, hit to lead, and lead optimization tasks. Our chemical library, with over 130,000 highly annotated compounds, is an excellent starting point for the discovery of new hits. Additionally, we perform target engagement assays, phenotypic assays, target deconvolution strategies, and the generation of biological reagents.

Innopharma participates in collaborative projects at both the Spanish and international levels, and actively seeks new opportunities to contribute to proposals where the platform adds value to the project.
