Background

Chemistry

At Sygnature Discovery, we work as an extension of your team, combining global chemistry expertise, transparent collaboration and dedicated leadership to help your discoveries succeed. Our multidisciplinary teams bring deep experience across modalities and therapeutic areas, tailoring every strategy to your goals and timelines.

Our integrated chemistry teams combine medicinal, synthetic, process and high-throughput chemistry to deliver molecules that matter. From Lipinski-compliant small molecules to bRo5 compounds, PROTACs, induced-proximity therapeutics, and antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), we apply scientific rigor and flexibility across therapeutic areas and delivery methods including CNS, oral, inhaled, topical and IV.

Every project is built around shared goals, open communication and scientific precision. With automation, AI-enhanced design and seamless scalability from milligram to kilogram, we help you overcome complexity and accelerate progress. This has resulted in over 60 preclinical and 38 clinical candidates shaped by our expertise and your vision.
