About Argenta Discovery

Working with Argenta

We take as professional an approach to business relationships as we do to our science, with core principles that underpin how we work with our partners:

• Absolute integrity - to give our clients complete confidence regarding confidentiality and the knowledge that their project is safe in Argenta’s hands; furthermore, rigorous procedures are used for data management and security, including encryption of any sensitive data being exchanged with our clients.
  
  
• Total trust - we will not undertake any projects where there is a conflict of interest with previous or ongoing client programmes, or with our in-house R&D.
  
  
• Open, honest and timely communication - prior to beginning a collaboration Argenta will agree with our client a programme of formal communications and meetings, including written reports, teleconferences and face-to-face meetings, in addition to regular scientist-to-scientist contact whenever required.
  
  
• Flexibility - we recognize that scientific projects sometimes cannot be completely defined in advance, and that both scientific activities and business structures may need to adapt during the lifetime of a collaboration.

These principles are adhered to with all our clients, large and small, and ensure that scientific programmes are structured within a sound commercial framework. This approach is supported by our success in establishing discovery collaborations - please click here for more information on recent collaborations.

Argenta’s extensive drug discovery capability permits a flexible working approach and allows our partners to utilise Argenta scientists as needs be to complement their in-house activities. In this way, a client should view our teams as an extension of their own in-house capability.
