The strategy and the science behind better therapeutics.

APC Science combines deep technical and operational expertise, inventive problem-solving, and business judgment to find the highest-value path for a drug program, with a clear-eyed read on what is actually feasible, what isn't, and the way around it. Across modalities and stages, hands-on with peptide, antibody, and conjugate chemistry.

Where we create value

Finding the best path, with a clear read on what will actually work

A molecule or modality is technically demanding

We assess what is truly feasible, find the route that works, and the inventive way around what doesn't.

A program needs its plan to the next milestone or raise

We map the highest-value path: what matters, in what order, at what cost, and the trade-offs worth making.

A CDMO, CRO, or technical partner has to deliver

We find the right partner and the right approach, and keep the work honest and on track.

An investor or acquirer needs a real read on an asset

We judge feasibility, where value and risk actually sit, and what it will take to realize it.

A platform has more directions than it can fund

We identify the path with the best feasibility, fundability, and strategic value.

What we do

Two disciplines that usually live in different firms

Most advisors work the strategy or the science. APC Science does both, so our plans are grounded in what is actually buildable at the molecule level, and our technical work always points at a development and commercial endgame.

Drug development strategy & operations

Development planning, modality selection, target product profiles, CMC and operational strategy, vendor and CDMO sourcing, and program execution, across modalities and at any stage from discovery to clinic.

Development planning CMC strategy CDMO & vendor sourcing Operations

Peptide & antibody technical chemistry

Hands-on design and development of peptides, peptide-based antigens and antibody therapeutics, and the harder problems: conjugates, ligands, scaffolds, and non-standard chemistries, through synthesis, conjugation, formulation, and scale-up.

Who you work with

Built by an operator who has solved the problem from both sides

Amrit Chaudhuri founded Advanced Peptides after watching difficult peptide chemistry come back late or unsolved from contract labs. The firm completed more than 3,000 molecular projects for 120+ academic and pharmaceutical organizations. He went on to co-found and lead SmartLabs, scaling research infrastructure across Boston and South San Francisco and raising more than $400M across ventures.

Why teams work with us

Senior, hands-on, and modality-agnostic

Operator's perspective

Guidance shaped by actually building and running research platforms, GMP and GLP programs, and IND-enabling work, not just advising on them.

From bench to boardroom

We connect molecular feasibility to development timelines, capital strategy, and commercial reality, so decisions hold up across every layer.

The path others miss

Out-of-the-box problem-solving grounded in real chemistry and operations: when the obvious route stalls, we find the feasible one: the trade-off, the workaround, or the rethink that moves the program.
