A history of therapeutic expertise

Developing new drugs to treat human disease is an expensive, complex and time-consuming process. Bringing a new drug to market can take up to 15 years and costs $2.5 billion or more.

Our biopharmaceutical and biotech customers have trusted us to help them advance their trials. Our therapeutic area expertise spans large drug disease markets such as hematology/oncology and chronic conditions, along with growing areas of R&D innovation, such as immuno-oncology, cell and gene therapy and rare diseases.

At every stage of the drug development process, the PPD™ clinical research business of Thermo Fisher Scientific deploys the expertise you need to design, plan and execute your clinical trials with skill, precision and unwavering focus on quality.
