At Cortex Organics, we recognise delivering high quality chemistry requires great chemists. Our highly qualified team are experienced in delivering on custom synthesis requests, with value added in designing and scouting novel routes to complex molecules. Cost and time efficient.
With a proven track record in route design and problem-solving, we work closely with both medicinal chemists seeking to access complex new structures, as well as process chemists seeking to modernise their chemistry. Rapid timelines, extensive screening and parallel route scouting are implemented as standard.
we employ modern, state of the art chemical methodologies and technologies to solve the most complex problems in the life-sciences industry.
An emphasis on contemporary synthetic methodologies coupled with our passion in organic chemistry build a foundation for our continual success in the field of synthetic chemistry. Expertise in modern methods, which are highly scalable, efficient and cost-effective, allow us to continue to solve the most pressing issues in synthetic chemistry whilst reducing the adverse impact on the environment.
Extensive experience in all areas of chemistry including drug discovery, natural products, building block synthesis, asymmetric catalysis, chiral synthesis, and late stage modification.
A highly qualified team from different backgrounds that share a passion in synthetic chemistry. Our PhD-trained chemists are determined to do everything to ensure we deliver the most value to our clients.
