BioAscent

BioAscent is a drug discovery services company based at Newhouse in North Lanarkshire. Founded in 2013, it works with biotechnology and pharmaceutical organisations that need external scientific capability during the early stages of discovering and evaluating potential medicines.

Its services span medicinal, synthetic and computational chemistry, in vitro biosciences, DMPK work, screening, compound management and access to compound libraries. Customers can use individual services or combine disciplines within a broader discovery programme, allowing research teams to add specialist laboratory capacity without building every function internally.

The location supports laboratory, compound-management and project teams working with clients in the UK and overseas. ScottishBusiness.com lists BioAscent under IT & Technology as the closest available category for its life-sciences research activity, while Consultancy reflects the project-based scientific work it provides to commercial partners.
