From Mechanism to Market – Translational Strategies in Preclinical Pharmacology and Toxicology

Bringing a new drug from early discovery to clinical application is a complex journey – one that requires deep mechanistic understanding, predictive models, and robust safety assessment.

At Fraunhofer ITEM, we bridge this gap. Our expertise in preclinical pharmacology and toxicology enables us to translate biological mechanisms into actionable data for decision-making in drug development. From advanced in vitro systems to translational in vivo models, we support our partners in developing safer and more effective therapies.

With our new webinar series, “From Mechanism to Market – Translational Strategies in Preclinical Pharmacology and Toxicology,” we open the door to our scientific approaches, technologies, and services.

Each session will provide a focused deep dive into a specific area of expertise – demonstrating how we help to address key challenges in pharmaceutical research and development.

Upcoming webinar: Immune cell technologies in preclinical research

Speaker: Dr. Mania Ackermann
Date: June 22
Time: 2:00 PM CET
Format: Online (Microsoft Teams)
Participation: Free of charge

This kick-off session will introduce innovative approaches in immune cell-based models and demonstrate their relevance for translational pharmacology and toxicology.

About our expertise

Our work in preclinical pharmacology and toxicology is grounded in a strong scientific foundation and a clear translational focus.

We combine:

  • Human-relevant in vitro models, including iPSC-based systems
  • Mechanistic insights into disease pathways and drug effects
  • Integrated strategies for efficacy and safety evaluation
  • Regulatory-aligned approaches supporting decision-making and risk assessment

Through this integrated portfolio, we help our partners move from mechanism to market - efficiently and with confidence.
