In 1906, Paul Ehrlich made a prophecy regarding the role of modern-day pharmaceutical research. He predicted that chemists would soon be able to produce substances that would seek out specific disease-causing agents. He referred to these substances as 'magic bullets'.

At Vivolux we believe in the methodology and creativity of Ehrlich although since his time chemical know-how and the instruments found in pharmaceutical laboratories have advanced considerably. By combining creativity with expert knowledge in organic chemistry, biochemistry, clinical pharmacology, mechanism of action studies and experimental and clinical oncology Vivolux is playing an active part in developing the magic bullets predicted by Ehrlich. Achieving success in the search for a 'magic bullet' in cancer therapy is now greater than ever.

Research groups all over the world have begun to discover the potential of Vivolux services. This approach has lead to the identification and lead optimization of several interesting classes of novel compounds.
