Our philosophy

 
Founded over 40 years ago by a team of pharma industry innovators, Nuvisan has established a reputation for expertise and professionalism. Our discovery and development teams specialise in tailoring drug discovery solutions to meet our clients’ individual needs and add value to their projects. Whether you're at the early stages of target identification or advancing towards clinical trials, we offer various entry and exit points to seamlessly integrate into your drug discovery and development journey. 
 
Our philosophy 
Our scientists understand both the demands and challenges of pharmaceutical research. By combining our extensive pharma experience with the agility of a flexible organisation, we provide tailored solutions that ensure proactive and transparent collaboration, minimising risks and achieving key milestones. For us, integration means more than just combining disciplines; it embodies our commitment to aligning with our clients' culture, working style and needs, often becoming an essential part of their teams. 
 
Adaptable and collaborative team 
Our PhD-trained scientists and lab professionals have extensive experience from leading pharmaceutical companies and top-tier universities. We pride ourselves on being your scientific sparring partner, ensuring rigorous scientific scrutiny of your results. We allocate the right people to your projects, focusing on future developability and value inflection points. Whether you need consulting scientists or experienced technical staff with hands-on experimental expertise, Nuvisan is your ideal partner. 
 
Streamlined communication 
Open and direct communication is key to successful collaboration. Our regular progress meetings and ad hoc communication channels ensure we promptly address your needs and adjust project priorities as new data emerges. This dynamic approach helps us minimise your efforts while expertly driving your experiments and projects forward. 
 
Integrated facilities 
Nuvisan’s discovery and development sites are located in Germany and France. Our unique centres of excellence – for drug discovery in Berlin, formulation and manufacturing in Sophia-Antipolis, and our clinical and bioanalytical hub in Neu-Ulm – enable our seasoned veterans to help guide and advance projects. The proximity of laboratories at these centres and hubs removes shipping times and transfer challenges, enabling seamless handover of material and data, problem-solving across teams and functions, and a smooth path to your project's success.
