Adesis Scientists
Adesis Scientists

Adesis scientists have extensive experience in the biotech, pharmaceutical and specialty chemical industries – particularly in the specialty monomers and electronic space where the highest of purities are required – and we can rapidly scale to hundreds of grams or kilos, of both final targets and key intermediates. Motivated by the challenge of optimally reducing your drug discovery and pre-clinical development timelines, collaboratively partnering with your specialty chemical R&D teams to identify solutions and proof-of-concepts, and independently proposing alternative routes, we are a direct extension of your R&D team so you can advance the line to innovate with quality and speed.

As a subsidiary of Universal Display Corporation, the innovative culture of a technology company is in our DNA to support accelerating your success.
