Discovery is a complex and high-risk process in drug development, as researchers strive to identify and advance promising therapeutic candidates. It requires scientific prowess, advanced technologies, and strategic vision to navigate through potential obstacles with agility. With this episode, Big4Bio is kicking off an occasional series on discovery sciences with Charles River Labs, which, over the past five years, has contributed to more than 80 percent of novel FDA-approved drugs. We spoke with Charles River Labs' chief scientific officer of discovery Justin Bryans, and Charles River Labs' vice president and chief scientific officer for discovery and safety assessments, Steve Bulera, about the challenges of drug discovery, why every moment matters, and the benefits of the collaborative approach Charles River takes in working with its partners.

Earlier this year, Charles River Laboratories acquired SAMDI Tech, a provider of proprietary mass spectrometry technology that enables label-free, high-throughput screening for drug discovery. The technology cuts cost and accelerates the time it takes to identify a lead drug candidate, enabling drug developers to make critical go-no-go decisions earlier. We spoke to Zack Gurard-Levin, science director in discovery for Charles River Laboratories about the advantages SAMDI’s mass spectrometry offers over alternative technologies, how it enables the study of a broad range of modalities, and how it fits into a comprehensive set of Charles River offerings.
