2024 Innovator Award Winner: Lindus Health

When we think about innovations in the drug discovery and development pipeline, so much attention has gone to AI-based drug discovery solutions. The reality is that the costliest and longest phase of bringing new therapeutics to patients is actually the clinical development process. Lindus Health is a next-generation contract research organisation, which has helped over 80 clients run entire clinical studies up to three times faster than traditional providers. These trials have been run across a wide range of conditions including type 2 diabetes and COPD, allowing patients to benefit from new treatments more quickly.
