For more than 25 years, we have been creating new technological pathways to find and select the best drug candidates. From the beginning, we have always tried to establish a continuum between the target and the patients to qualify the potential efficacy of new treatments. We are pioneers in translational medicine, from Artificial Intelligence-powered target identification to new approaches to evaluate the efficacy of treatments, such as pharmaco-imaging. This is the story of Oncodesign which became Oncodesign Services in October 2022.
