“Our gastrointestinal system, apart from its main role in nutrient absorption, faces daily challenges to grant us tolerance to commensal and food antigens while fighting off pathogens. Environmental and genetic triggers can render our immune system weak. As a researcher, my goal was to understand how our immune cells orchestrate responses during health and disease. As an Innovation Champion for Dr. Falk Pharma, my goal is to conceptualize scientific knowledge into approaches that can make a difference in patients' lives.”

Stronger together
We continuously strive for transforming ideas and current advances in medical treatment. Dr. Falk Pharma cooperates with reliable partners in order to develop and implement high potential innovative treatment concepts. These can arise from any pharmacological concept: from “small molecules” to biologics. Within these projects, a wide variety of developmental steps are considered, which can have their origin in academic research, in clinical use, in start-ups or even established companies.
Dr. Falk Pharma is an industry leader in innovative pharmaceutical formulations that deliver active substances to specific functional segments of an inflamed gastrointestinal tract. Many of our products have attained standard-of-care status.
We enjoy an excellent reputation among academic and clinical key opinion leaders in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology and proctology, resulting in strong, long-standing collaborations with renowned clinical centres.
As a partner, we offer comprehensive expertise across the entire value chain ranging from products and clinical development to regulatory approval, manufacturing and marketing.
We look forward to making new contacts and establishing new partners, both nationally and internationally, in the fields of digestive and metabolic medicine. Feel free to contact one of our Innovation Champions directly.
