Moving Science Along the Development Process

Our research and development facilities, equipment, expertise, and training opportunities are second to none in Canada. Centre for Drug Research and Development Investigators can take advantage of resources at facilities located at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, and the BC Cancer Agency. These sites allow scientists to access vital drug-development equipment to collaborate and advance drug development throughout the province. CDRD provides investigators with support and guidance through five divisions that mirror the drug-development process:

  • Target Validation
  • Drug Screening
  • Medicinal Chemistry
  • Drug Delivery
  • Drug Evaluation
