About Us
Hermay Labs
Hermay Labs Corporation is an outstanding Canadian chemistry-based research company provides exceptional services and products. The company is located in beautiful Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Hermay Labs has extensive experience in drug discovery and chemical synthesis.
The scientific team in Hermay Labs consists of experts in the following disciplines:
1. Molecular modeling: Protein dynamics, protein-ligand docking, ligand characterization. This will enable us to design and generate novel small molecules to target proteins of interest.
2. Computer assisted drug discovery and development: Use of proprietary software to evaluate toxicity, ADME, and PK 'in silico' even before chemical synthesis of the compounds commences. This will significantly reduce the cost while increasing the likelihood of success. The software can also generate novel analogues to cover every angle of potential chemical space for IP protection.
3. Medicinal and synthetic chemistry: The company's leadership has over 30 years of synthetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and CRO leadership experience, which will be used to efficiently execute the medicinal and synthetic chemistry tasks at hand.
4. Biochemistry: Expertise in protein biochemistry and molecular mechanics ensures front line performance, not only in identifying and addressing protein targets, but in carrying out associated cell-based assays and evaluating cellular mechanisms.
