Project Lifecycle Timeline

What does a typical project look like?
Each customer comes to DowpharmaSM with specific needs and at varying stages in drug development. We work hard to address each customer’s needs in the way that is most effective to meet those needs. However, in general, projects follow a similar course, as described in this timeline. Customers are able to enter the process at different stages, depending on their particular project.

Feasibility Study – Proof of Concept
The feasibility study focuses on evaluating Pfēnex Expression Technology™ or other expression systems for the customer’s protein or peptide in comparison with current commercially available technology.
