Welcome to Vernalis Research

We develop and apply fragment and structure-based methods to solve problems in drug discovery, and have generated cell active lead compounds and development candidates against targets in oncology, neurodegeneration, anti-infectives and inflammation.

BIO-Europe Spring

March 18, 2024 - March 20, 2024

Attendee: Ben Davis

Our approach

Our established group of experienced scientists is based at our fully-equipped research laboratories in Cambridge, UK.

We integrate fragment-based approaches, structural biology, biophysics, assay technology and molecular modelling with extensive synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry expertise to enable drug discovery on both established and novel targets.

We have the experience and capabilities for progressing projects from concept to clinic. We have generated lead compounds on enzymes, protein-protein interactions and GPCRs, leading to pre-clinical candidates for Chk1, Hsp90, Bcl-2, Mcl-1, FAAH and A2A.

Our business model

We balance an internal portfolio of drug discovery projects with fully integrated research collaborations on targets with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and academic partners. Our shared-risk approach ensures a high level of engagement from our scientists and rewards success. Recently disclosed collaborations include those with Servier, Lundbeck, PhoreMost, Asahi Kasei Pharma, Genentech, Dania Therapeutics ApS and Unison Medicines Inc., and we seek additional partnerships.
