ADME testing (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion) is an essential part of early stage drug development.  In this episode, Dr. Matt Hutzler, Director of ADME Services at Q2 Solutions, describes the common paradigm of ADME testing and why short turnaround times are important.

 

Because speed is so important, outsourcing testing overseas may not make as much economic sense as it might have in the past, given shipping costs and the possibilities for delays (at customs for example.)

 

Dr. Hutzler explains the factors that contribute to the success of high-throughput ADME testing and what advances and innovations we might expect in the future.
