Drugs Technology LLC (R-Pharm Group of Companies)

Drugs Technology (DrugsTech) was established in 2007 by leading Russian pharmaceutical experts, scientists and executives driven by the ambition to lead the curve in Innovative Generic and Brand Drug development with a keen focus on Drug Delivery Systems (DDS). Historically DrugsTech was part of Center of High Technologies CHEMRAR and its R&D organization – Chemical Diversity Research Institute Ltd. (http://www.chemrar.ru/eng/about/).

In 2010 the company entered into a strategic partnership with one of the largest vertically integrated pharmaceutical holdings in Russia – R-Pharm Group (http://r-pharm.com/en/). Under the partnership Drugs Technology started R&D and manufacturing of generic drugs much-needed in Russian Public HealthCare System (Specialty/Hospital) where R-Pharm is a market leader.
