Pivot Park Screening Centre (PPSC) is your optimal partner in early drug discovery. At PPSC we provide drug discovery services in the fields of assay development, lab automation, Ultra-High-Throughput Screening (uHTS) and hit-to-lead biological profiling, in order to find novel leads for drug development. PPSC is located at Pivot Park in the Netherlands, which focuses on pharmaceutical R&D. It is an inspiring campus for open innovation in life sciences. We are continuously expanding our early drug discovery know-how, compound library and services to add value to our vibrant client network and the pharmaceutical R&D community. Through this we help you accelerate drug discovery for a healthier society.

Enantis is a biotech SME based in the Czech Republic. Our main expertise lies in protein and enzyme engineering. We focus on our own pipeline of products as well as we provide confidential contract research services to other subjects. Enantis uses a highly innovative approach to in silico predictions of beneficial mutations in the protein sequence. These mutations are able to improve molecular stability, activity, or selectivity without any extra additives. For this, we use our proprietary software and long-term expertise. The sequence alterations are predicted by our unique protein engineering platform (energy and evolution predictions coupled with rational design). One of our products, hyper stable FGF2 has been engineered to be 50x more stable than its native counterpart. Similar commercially attractive molecules are being developed at Enantis. For our clients, we are able to improve molecules for industrial, pharma, or research purposes, as our engineering platform is highly universal.
