About us

Lead Pharma is a spinoff from the prestigious Hubrecht Institute and the University Medical Center Utrecht. We develop innovative small-molecule therapies for patients with autoimmune disease or cancer.

Lead Pharma is headquartered at Pivot Park, the biopharmaceutical life sciences campus in Oss, the Netherlands. We have fully equipped labs for all stages of drug discovery, including medicinal chemistry, cellular pharmacology, and molecular pharmacology, as well as an in silico lab for our computational chemistry, bioinformatics and data mining activities. We work with a select network of specialized contract research organizations to whom we outsource our in vivo pharmacology and toxicology studies.
