Our Mindest - Working with us
2bind is one of the world’s leading service providers for biophysics-based assays. We have worked with 6 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies world-wide – e.g. Roche – and with many top-tier Universities – e.g. MIT and Stanford. Just as well, many SMEs and life-science start-ups trust us with their biophysical assay projects.
Milestone-based projects
Milestones and exit-options give you the full control over your projects.
Clear cost-structure
All costs are known prior to project start. Cancelled milestones are not charged.
