Invasight is teaming with Eurofins Discovery’s DiscoveryOne, an integrated drug discovery platform that provides expert comprehensive support to progress programs from concept to preclinical development and beyond.

Invasight will combine its own breakthrough technology, ACINDA (Anti-cancer Cell Invasion Drug Discovery Accelerator), which closely mimics the in vivo tumor microenvironment, with Eurofins Discovery’s fully integrated capabilities that include medicinal chemistry, in vitro pharmacology, ADME-PK, biomarkers and industry-leading safety pharmacology, to progress to a development candidate.

The DiscoveryOne team’s successful track record and experience moving candidates effectively from hit to preclinical candidate, coupled with Invasight’s proprietary cancer cell invasion models, are expected to result in high-quality molecules moving rapidly to IND-enabling studies to accelerate therapeutics in the fight against cancer.
