OUR EUROLAB

Eurolab was born to house Eurofarma's present and innovative future. The gigantic space of 21,170 m², built in the company's Itapevi Unit, is an ecosystem with infrastructure never seen before in the pharmaceutical industry - not only in Brazil, but in all of Latin America. 

Eurolab goes into operation to strengthen the company's main strategy: innovation. Innovation that permeates the 13 goals of Vision 2022, two of which are directly linked to the development of new medications, an area in which Eurolab will provide a huge leap forward. The space has state-of-the-art laboratories and a mini factory for the production of medications for clinical trials.

Eurolab's gigantic infrastructure allows all development stages of a new product, including a mini factory. Below are the main numbers:

6 State-of-the-art
Laboratories

The highlights include the Pre-formulation Laboratory and the Formulation Laboratory, equipped with cutting-edge technology for the development of solid, liquid, and semi-solid pharmaceutical forms.

Workspaces

28 rooms dedicated to formulation development. There are 800 m² devoted to the development of analytical methodologies.

State-of-the-art
Equipment

Eurolab has hundreds of chromatography devices and 12 synthesis hoods.

Mini
Factory

Eurolab has a scaling factory, a small-sized copy of the industrial plant. Thus, it is no longer necessary to interrupt a production line to do tests. The mini factory will be certified and can produce batches for clinical trials.

Organic Synthesis
Laboratory

Eurolab is home to Latin America's largest organic synthesis laboratory, dedicated to small original molecules.

Physicians as
Partners

Analytical park in which physicians can contribute in the search for optimal treatment for everyday problems;

Radical Innovation

Created in 2014, Eurofarma's Radical Innovation Center now has an exclusive area to tackle revolutionary innovative drug development projects to treat pathologies such as pain, infection, obesity, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, as well as projects focused on neglected diseases. Below are the main highlights:

Scientists

The entire team of chemists and pharmacologists are PhDs with postdoctoral studies

Discovery Area

120 m² dedicated to the synthesis of new molecules. 12 hoods, two for scaling up to 1 kg of drugs

Expertise in Computational Chemistry

The team of scientists leads the company's cutting-edge projects, such as the partnership with Cyclica, which uses artificial intelligence and computational biophysics in the process of discovering new drugs

Achievements

A thousand molecules already designed and obtained for projects aimed at discovering new antimicrobials and drugs for treating pain, depression, and leishmaniasis

Eurolab embodies our vision of the company's perpetuity, our belief that only with innovation in products and processes will we find our place in the world of the future.

Maurizio Billi, President

Eurolab is unprecedented in Latin America, a large, integrated, and high-quality Innovation Center. Within a single physical space, we have everything that is needed to make a pharmaceutical product. It provides Eurofarma with unparalleled development power. We will dramatically increase our ability to launch products. Eurolab gives us the independence we need to do everything in there.

Martha Penna, Vice President of Innovation

Developing and launching innovative products is fundamental to Eurofarma's organic growth. The medical board identifies needs for new medications, relevant to medical practice and with advantages for patient treatment, in addition to seeking the best clinical development strategy so that these products are launched quickly and efficiently.

Laura Rodrigues Pinheiro, Medical Director of Eurofarma

Eurolab's new facilities are beautiful and inspiring! The Regulatory Affairs area will strongly seek new strategies to provide innovative therapeutic alternatives for patients in the shortest time possible.

Anett Pereira, Director of Regulatory Affairs

In the creation of Eurolab, as pioneers in the pharmaceutical industry, we implemented new sustainable construction technologies in the refrigeration and water consumption systems. These new standards have become benchmarks for the factories that Eurofarma will build from now on.

André Avelino, Director of Engineering Projects

The construction of Eurolab is a great step forward for innovative projects to gain even more space and momentum, furthering the company's reputation of providing society with innovative products with the well-known Eurofarma quality standard.

Bárbara Maria Flores Ferreira Ayres Netto, Innovation Projects Manager

Eurolab is sine qua non for the solidification and expansion of the pre-clinical development area, responsible for projects involving the discovery and development of new molecules. At the new research and development center, we have a state-of-the-art organic synthesis laboratory, where molecules are obtained, with the ability to house up to 12 chemists and produce potential new drugs on a scale of a milligram up to a kilogram.
