Syngene Accelerator Award
Win six months of Integrated Drug Discovery services with a trusted partner
Are you a biotech company pursuing groundbreaking science with limited resources? We’re launching a unique opportunity to help you accelerate your preclinical drug discovery pipeline — with six months of Integrated Drug Discovery support.
Why We Are Offering This
At Syngene, we partner with biotech innovators to push the boundaries of drug discovery. We understand that early-stage science often outpaces funding, especially in the current fiscally constrained environment — and we want to help bridge that gap.

Syngene will provide a dedicated team of up to five FTEs that will support your project for six months at any stage including:
Assay development and in vitro profiling
Hit-to-Lead expansion
Lead optimization
In vivo pharmacology
