Pipeline
Our pipeline is powered by end-to-end research and development capabilities. The research team discovers promising new active pharmaceutical ingredients. From there, global development brings these investigational candidates through the full pre-clinical and clinical development process, including clinical trials designed to study safety and efficacy and lifecycle management.
Clinical trials
Advenion is committed to develop new therapies to treat selected chronic diseases in a sustainable way in a long and careful process. One of the most important steps in this process is the clinical trial where people volunteer to receive experimental therapy and be observed for its effects.
SCIENTIFIC
ADVISORY
BOARD
At Advenion we recognize that innovation comes from many sources. The constitution of the Advenion´s Scientific Advisory Board formalizes our belief in engaging top quality independent experts to help us design, manufacture, test, and promote the discovery and development processes. The Scientific Advisory Board provides external scientific review of our research and development activities and assists management in making in the process of scientific evaluation.

RAFAEL DE LA TORRE FORNELL
HEAD RESEARCHER IN NEURO-DEGENERATIVE DISEASES AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES
IMIM Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute
Dr. Rafael de la Torre, is the scientific-technological head of the Integrated Pharmacology and Neuroscience Systems (FINS) group at FIMIM. He directs a TECNIO center since 2006, being this the brand that identifies the technological centers experts in industrial research and technology transfer in Catalonia. This center, called BAPP (BioAnalysis, Proteomics and Pharmacology), promotes access to differential R&D capabilities, offers answers to the technological needs of the biopharmaceutical sector and promotes the international projection of companies in the same sector. TECNIO brings together the best technology centers and research centers of Catalan universities, as well as facilitates and promotes the establishment of public-private consortia to improve the transfer of knowledge from universities to companies.
