Turning Potential into Success

With no internal pipeline to manage, the ceedd is completely focused on the success of our alliance companies' programs. We have 8 existing alliances, and seek to engage in others, starting at any point in the development path - from target identification to clinical proof of concept.

"Our aim at the ceedd is not to impose ourselves on your company, but to nurture and facilitate a project in the best way possible for both parties with our extensive access to resources and a friendly professional team to offer specialist advice at all stages of the alliance."

Head of Commercial

At GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) a specialized R&D unit is driving growth in external drug discovery to complement the late-stage GSK pipeline.The Center of Excellence for External Drug Discovery (ceedd) builds and personally manages unique risk/reward-sharing drug discovery alliances with world class biotech companies. We work directly with these companies to bring programs from target to clinical proof of concept, at which stage GSK has options to license for full development and commercialization. As a small, multidisciplinary team, we share our alliance companies’ entrepreneurial spirit and agility, and complement their capabilities with broad expertise and access to big pharma resources to bring innovative new medicines to more patients more quickly.
