Contract R&D · Drug Discovery

From target idea to pre-clinical candidate — in months, not decades.

Digital BioPharm is a full-stack contract research partner for pharma & biotech — now resuming operations. Computational chemistry, medicinal chemistry, synthesis, biology and analytics under one roof, reporting to pharma-grade standards.

Send the target and the stage you are at — a scientist, not a salesperson, replies within two business days.

Molecular structures the company works with: proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules
01The Practice

Scientists first. A partner that ships, not a vendor that invoices.

About Us

Digital BioPharm is a contract research organisation built for modern drug discovery — a distributed team of chemists, biologists and engineers delivering programmes for pharma, biotech and academic groups. Founded by Dr. Andrey Voronkov in 2010.

Areas of Research

From computational hit finding to pre-clinical candidates: oncology, age-related and neurodegenerative disease, epigenetics and protein–ligand interactions — with cloud-scale cheminformatics behind every decision.

Our Mission

To compress the distance between a disease and its cure — making rigorous, transparent and fast research available to teams of every size, from first hypothesis to the molecule that reaches the clinic.
