Research Collaborations

Axxam recognizes the contribution of scientific collaborations in extending our ability to develop innovative tools and technologies to improve assay performance and to identify novel and druggable targets in selected therapeutic areas, such as pain, osteoporosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)/asthma.

This growing network of scientific and clinical partners forms an essential component of our discovery research process.
