Scientific Solutions

Stand-alone services with an integrated approach

Plug & Play or Customize: it's your choice. At Confluence Discovery Technologies, we understand your scientific needs vary for your research partnerships. We make it easy for you to select a stand-alone scientific solution that you can "plug and play" into your project, while still providing you with coordinated communication within our cross-platform research teams.

And what do you do when "off-the-shelf" is missing the mark? Our team of drug discovery experts work with you to design and execute a custom-tailored scientific solution for your research endeavor.

The result: you gain targeted, complete research services that add speed and flexibility to your timeline. Our stand-alone scientific solutions are supported by integrated teams, so you remove hassles and manage fewer vendors.
