** Accurate to the nearest amino acid,
** Comprehensive, reliable, robust and reproducible.
* Optimization:
** A 360 screening, via the identification of all mutations of interest (Ex: Modulation of affinity, cross-reactivity, selectivity; pH switch; Improvement of thermal stability; Humanization / hyper-humanization; Suppression of undesirable motifs (PTM))

Provepharm
Network & Programme Sponsor
Throughout our growth, we have developed two key areas of expertise: chemical and pharmaceutical development and pharmaceutical commercialization.
With 20 years of experience as a CDMO specializing in small molecules and peptide-based candidates, Provepharm Life Solutions develops and manufactures GMP drug substances for use in clinical trials. Leveraging a strong network of Fill & Finish partners across Europe, we also provide aseptic Fill & Finish services for peptide drug products, ensuring the supply of QP-released clinical batches.
Our expertise includes the development of various peptide-based candidates, including long peptides (up to 150 amino acids) and immuno-conjugated peptides (CRM, KLH).
We are avide to build synergies with new partners and welcome any collaboration or co-development opportunities.
We look forward to welcoming you at our booth!
