Drug Discovery
The Drug Discovery Center of Innovation (DDCOI) is a non-profit, comprehensive drug discovery and development center.
The DDCOI's mission is to provide pharmaceutical expertise and project management resources to accelerate the translation of discoveries into therapeutics.
We offer a non-profit alternative to more traditional approaches to early drug development:
1. We work with disease research foundations, academia, industry, government and investors to identify synergistic, mutual objectives and create partnerships to share early development costs.
2. We utilize a virtual business model to focus research investments on efficient execution of drug development tasks, rather than the creation of infrastructure.
3. We provide deep pharmaceutical development expertise and oversight to establish and manage project plans and drive crisp go/no-go decision making.
4. We provide end-to-end data analysis and troubleshooting to facilitate the creation of a successful application for IND and beyond.
The DDCOI is guided by a board of directors.
Status: Phase II Funding
