Scientists at J-STAR are assigned to each project based on the anticipated demands of the project and their expertise. All projects at J-Star are managed by highly experienced scientists from the pharma industry. Our focused approach ensures the delivery of high quality solutions and materials in a timely fashion.
Our products and services are focused on these core areas:

Process Chemistry Research & Development
The management team and staff at J-STAR have extensive experience in pharmaceutical process research and development that spans many decades of practical, hands on expertise. Clients seeking to improve troublesome steps in a process, reduce the cost of goods by removing expensive or poorly performing steps, or re-design an entire route for one of their potential products or key intermediates, will find value added input at the chemistry level from the team at J-STAR.

Analytical R&D and Quality Control
Our Analytical Research team provides all of the analytical needs for process development, GLP studies and GMP campaigns. In general, our service includes, but is not limited to, method development, method verification / validation, reference standard certification, release testing, and impurity separation and identification.

Catalyst Screening & Enabling Technology
Our services in catalysis reaction development are differentiated through our integrated approach in the overall process development. We develop efficient catalytic reactions by utilizing the newest tools together with verified experimental high throughput techniques, scientific and industrial knowledge.

Pharmaceutical Crystallization R&D
Headed by world class scientists, the Center for Pharma Crystallization (CfPC) is a recognized industry leader in solid form studies, crystallization process development, pre-formulation evaluation, particle engineering and DS-DS co-processing.

Drug Product Development
With the ability to develop both Drug Substance (DS) and Drug product (DP) under the same umbrella, our team enjoys a synergism absent in most CROs. The ability to bridge the DS/DP interface is a major competitive advantage in our ability to shorten development timeline and improve ruggedness of the DP process.

High Potency API (HPAPI) Handling & Development
Recent trends in drug development have seen a surge in demand for high potency production capabilities, a demand J-STAR is perfectly positioned to meet.
