Welcome to the Centre for Drug Research
The Centre for Drug Research performs cutting-edge research to improve the technologies used in the early phases of drug discovery and development.
The Center for Drug Research (CDR) brings together biological, computational, and materials sciences to develop innovative tools for pharmaceutical applications. Our research is focused on two main programs: Biobased drug discovery tools, and Drug delivery and pharmaceutical nanotechnology. The CDR also provides top-level education and training as part of the University of Helsinki, one of the best multidisciplinary research universities in the world.
With a commitment to innovation and collaborative research, the CDR strives to develop pharmaceutical tools to reduce the cost of developing new medicines.
