From Molecule to Medicine: An Overview of New Drug Development | Project Precision GCP / Drug Development Series From Molecule to Medicine:An Overview of New Drug Development A PhD chemist and certified project manager breaks down the full drug development pipeline, GCP compliance, and what it actually takes to carry a candidate from discovery to […]
By Joseph Adebanjo, M.S. Organic Chemistry | PMP | PMI-ACP Biotech companies spend billions optimizing their biology. The target. The molecule. The mechanism of action. The clinical outcome. What gets far less attention is what happens after the reaction. The solvents used to run it. The disposable plasticware generated by it. The carbon footprint is

Joseph Adebanjo, M.S. Organic Chemistry | PMP | PMI-ACP Drug discovery used to take 12 to 15 years from target identification to regulatory approval. That number is shrinking, and AI is a significant reason why. But not in the way most headlines suggest. The conversation around AI in pharma tends to focus on the technology
AI Is Compressing Pharma R&D Timelines. Here Is What the Data Actually Shows. Read More »
By Joseph Adebanjo, PMP, PMI-ACP | Senior Chemist & Scientific Project Manager In the world of industrial chemistry, there is an old (and slightly painful) adage: “If it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen.” For a PhD chemist transitioning from the academic “lab notebook” style to a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environment, the shift can be
Shining Light on the Math: Quantum Yield & Fluorescence Lifetime Guide In photophysics, Quantum Yield (Φ) and Fluorescence Lifetime (τ) are foundational parameters. They reveal both the efficiency of light emission and the dynamics of the excited state—crucial for fluorophores, quantum dots, sensors, and photovoltaics. 1. Quantum Yield (Φ) Φ is the fraction of absorbed
