Research & Development
Formulation & Drug Development
Summit Life Science leverages advanced SEDDS technology and state-of-the-art Innovation Labs to deliver end-to-end formulation and drug development services for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and OTC applications.
R&D Services
Formulation Development
Our formulation scientists develop a broad range of dosage forms tailored to the physicochemical properties of your active ingredient and target patient population.
Immediate Release Oral Solid Dosage Form or Powder
Tablets, capsules, and powder formulations designed for rapid disintegration and drug release, optimized for bioavailability and manufacturability.
Slow-Release or Controlled-Release Oral Solid Formulations
Extended and modified-release solid dosage forms that sustain therapeutic drug levels over time, reducing dosing frequency and improving patient compliance.
Softgel Formulations
Lipid-based softgel capsule development leveraging our SEDDS platform to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble compounds.
Liquid Formulations
Oral solutions, syrups, and elixirs developed with precise pH, viscosity, and stability profiles for both commercial and clinical-use applications.
Suspension Formulations
Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical suspensions with carefully engineered particle size, rheology, and physical stability for consistent dosing.


R&D Services
Drug Development
We support the full drug development lifecycle for three primary drug categories, combining scientific expertise with deep regulatory knowledge.
01
Innovative New Drugs
New Chemical Entity (NCE) discovery and development programs applying cutting-edge screening technologies and proprietary delivery systems to bring novel therapeutics to market.
02
Generic Drugs
Bioequivalence study design, ANDA submission support, and formulation development for generic drug products targeting established reference listed drugs.
03
OTC Drugs
Over-the-counter drug formulation and regulatory strategy, including labeling review, monograph compliance, and NDA/ANDA preparation for consumer health products.
Additional R&D Capabilities
Beyond Standard Development
Our expertise extends into specialized development programs that require unique scientific and regulatory approaches.
Medical Food Development
Formulation and regulatory strategy for foods specially formulated to meet the distinctive nutritional needs of patients with specific medical conditions.
New Chemical Entity Development
End-to-end NCE programs from lead identification through IND-enabling studies, leveraging proprietary SEDDS and lipid-based delivery platforms.
Accelerate Your R&D Program
