Since the DMPK and Exploratory Toxicology department’s inception in 2006, it has been one of the most rapidly growing business units in the company. This growth is a testament to the high-quality performance and experienced leadership by the scientific team.

“ DMPK is important to Chempartner and our biopharmaceutical clients with respect to drug discovery and development to meet unmet medical needs. We needed an experienced leader to maintain the quality of service that keep our clients satisfied and coming back. Dr. Xu’s expertise, knowledge, and dedication make her a great fit for the team,” said Dr. Wei Tang, President of ChemPartner.
