Welcome to our first quarterly newsletter, in which we aim to keep you informed with all the latest news and developments at Selcia throughout the year.
In 2010 Selcia is entering its 10th year. The past ten years have certainly been challenging for Selcia – from growing a world-class custom radiolabelling service to establishing a strong drug discovery unit with a unique and exciting screening technology platform. The company has now over 60 employees, is privately held and has a solid financial footing.
We believe we are the partner of choice for 14-C custom radiolabelling and have earned an excellent reputation with worldwide clients in the pharmaceutical, biotech, agrochemical and chemical industries. With 23 highly qualified radiochemists in our recently expanded Radiolabelling division we are able to provide 14-C labelled small molecules of almost any complexity to a variety of clients, often at short notice. GMP-concepts synthesis of radiolabelled APIs for clinical studies is one of our specialities.
Our exceptional medicinal chemistry team brings together experience from large pharma coupled with strong synthetic chemistry skills supporting chemistry programs for pharma, biotech and academics. Our integrated drug discovery services are centred around a novel fragment screening platform (CEfrag) and our newly established biology and screening unit. CEfrag, using capillary electrophoresis, has been exclusively licensed and developed for fragment screening by Selcia. In conjunction with our high quality fragment library this enables us to offer a unique drug discovery tool supported by all the elements that are essential for advancing discovery programs, such as an excellent medicinal chemistry group and a versatile cell biology and screening unit.
We are looking forward to add real value to our clients programs throughout 2010 and beyond.
Dr Hans Fliri
Managing Director

Selcia Discovery News
A new force in drug discovery services.
Selcia has recently widened its portfolio of skills to include a fully-fledged biology and screening unit. The highlight in 2009 was the introduction of an exciting new fragment screening technology using capillary electrophoresis (CE). This screening technology, initially developed for HTS applications, was acquired by Selcia and adapted for fragment screening. CEfrag (patent pending) offers a unique and robust screening tool with a number of significant advantages over existing fragment screening technologies.
2009 also saw Selcia design and build a high quality fragment library of approximately 1500 compounds that has a low overlap with other commercial fragment libraries and a high proportion of singletons.
