Overview
MedPharm’s Guildford facility is a dedicated center for formulation development and pharmaceutical science, located within the Surrey Research Park in Guildford, UK. The site is purpose-built to support the development of liquid and semi-solid drug products, with a focus on translating novel therapeutic concepts into clinically and commercially viable formulations.
Laboratories at the Guildford site support formulation strategy, analytical development, product characterization, early process development, GMP manufacturing of clinical trial materials, and stability testing. The facility has a proven track record of advancing complex formulations from early feasibility through clinical-stage manufacturing.
MedPharm UK supports development programs from early formulation through clinical trial material (CTM) production, with experience across both small-molecule and biologic drug products.
Facilities
The Guildford site houses specialized laboratories designed to support the unique requirements of liquid and semi-solid product development, including:
Formulation development laboratories for prototype design and optimization
Process development laboratories supporting scalable, GMP-ready processes, including preclinical supply
Formulation characterization suites for rheology, texture, and delivery profiling
Analytical laboratories supporting method development & validation and GLP release for toxicology studies
MHRA-approved GMP facility for clinical manufacturing
On-site quality control laboratories for raw material testing, batch release, and stability monitoring
This integrated infrastructure enables early identification of formulation and process risks while supporting regulatory readiness.
Specialized Capabilities
The Guildford facility provides technical capabilities that support development continuity and efficient progression to the clinic, including:
Formulation strategy aligned with molecular properties and target product profiles
Rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept evaluation
ICH-compliant stability studies
Clinical trial material (CTM) manufacturing and packaging for Phase I–II studies, with Phase III capability for select programs (including orphan indications)
Analytical method development and validation aligned with regulatory expectations
Process development and scale-up support to enable global technology transfer
These capabilities support programs across liquid and semi-solid dosage forms, for both small molecules and biologics.
Quality and Compliance
Quality and regulatory compliance are integral to operations at MedPharm’s Guildford facility. UK activities are conducted in alignment with MHRA and EU GMP requirements, supported by robust quality assurance and quality control systems, including Qualified Person (QP) oversight.
These systems ensure development activities meet global expectations for quality, data integrity, and regulatory compliance throughout the product lifecycle.
