April 2025 — Responding to the global demand for precision drug delivery technologies, Litchlab proudly announces the launch of its Polymeric Micelle Drug Delivery CDMO Platform, offering end-to-end solutions from formulation design, process development, GMP manufacturing to regulatory support. With this strategic expansion, Litchlab further empowers pharmaceutical and biotech innovators to unlock the full therapeutic potential of complex molecules.
Amid a rapidly evolving global CDMO landscape, there is a clear shift towards high-value, technology-intensive services. Polymeric micelles — nanoscale carriers formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers — have emerged as a game-changing modality for improving the solubility, stability, and targeted delivery of hydrophobic drugs, peptides, and genetic materials. Recognizing this momentum, Litchlab has built a state-of-the-art polymeric micelle platform, fully equipped to meet global market needs.
