Ascendia Pharmaceutical Solutions Launched to Meet Drug Development & Manufacturing Needs

Jim Huang, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Ascendia Pharmaceuticals, announces that the pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) has re-branded to Ascendia Pharmaceutical Solutions. The new name and brand reflect Ascendia’s many successes and growth over the past 13 years, as the CDMO continues to provide solutions and expand its services from early formulation development to GMP manufacturing and commercialization.

“Over the past 13 years we have evolved from a small team of experienced pharmaceutical scientists who provided expert formulation services for poorly soluble drugs to a robust group of over 50 professionals dedicated to developing tailored formulation development services that advance drugs from preclinical to the clinic,” said Dr. Huang. “Our name change to Ascendia Pharmaceutical Solutions defines who we are as a company and what we do for our clients, as well as highlights our growth path for the future.”
