The Biotechnology Lab is responsible for developing protein production processes as part of Adamed’s innovative research programmes. The Lab’s tasks include optimisation of the following protein manufacturing stages: designing DNA constructs coding the target molecules, selection of bacterial strains and expression vectors, establishing the optimal conditions for expression, and scaling the manufacturing process.

Content: The main activities of the Proteomics Lab include the design and implementation of purification methods for recombinant proteins with therapeutic potential, analytics of proteins and bioconjugates, and providing their exact characteristics. An important part of the Lab’s work is participation in studies of molecular mechanisms of action and molecule pharmacology to prepare the molecules for advanced stages of the development process as drug candidates.

Content: Eukaryotic cell cultures are routinely used in biotechnological and toxicological protocols. Cells cultivated in appropriate conditions can be used for screening newly created molecules, thereby significantly reducing the number of animal tests. At the early stages of the drug development process, properly planned experiments using cell lines enable investigators to answer many questions about the mechanism of action, initial toxicological activity, or interactions with other substances.

The Laboratory Animals Team is responsible for conducting research studies to acquire the knowledge necessary for the development of drug candidates. The Team follows national and European guidelines and is committed to maintaining high ethical, hygienic, and methodological standards in the rodent vivarium. Ensuring the welfare of laboratory animals based on the 3R principle and close collaboration with the Research Department, the Preclinical Development Team, and external expert organisations allow the Team to accurately conduct studies in order to ensure highly reliable results.

The Preclinical Development Team coordinates the company’s activities in the area of preclinical studies of selected drug candidates. With its vast skills and experience, the Team can efficiently assess if molecules are ready for phase 1 clinical trials (known as first-in-human, FIH) and provide significant support for finished value-added dosage forms, allowing Adamed to obtain regulatory approval for bringing new medicines to the Polish and international markets.

Content: The CNS Team is responsible for all research activities carried out by the Innovation Department in the area of central nervous system disorders. The Team’s tasks include the selection of clinical indications and biological targets, designing new chemical molecules with therapeutic potential, and providing broad in vitro and in vivo pharmacological characteristics.
