The Introduction compiles the complete information about the service scope and capabilities of 101 China-based service providers that are presently considered the strongest technically in China. These 101 China-based service providers are either capable of conducting contract pharmaceutical research and/or contract chemistry research for drug discovery and development, or have capability to conduct contract manufacturing of bulk materials [active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and/or their intermediates] for drug candidates in development stages.
For each of these 101 China-based CROs/CMOs, the Introduction has examined a total of ten categories to measure their service capabilities. These criteria are considered most important for an outsourcing company to know when looking for a service provider in China.
They include:
- 1) Company name
- 2) A full description of each provider’s service scope and capability
- 3) Comments about their service features and strengths
- 4) Their facility and capacity
- 5) Their in-house products (compound libraries) ready to offer
- 6) Customers each provider has served so far
- 7) Background of the provider company’s founder(s) or its current executive(s) including their scientific/education merits and work experiences
- 8) Year the company was founded
- 9) Current number of technical employees including the percentage of senior (such as Ph.D.) level scientists to reflect their real technical strength
- 10) A complete collection of their contact information including physical and mailing address as well as e-mail addresses, phone and fax numbers, website addresses, and the addresses of their branches or divisions in other places than their headquarters.
