About Pharmetheus
Pharmetheus supports clients ranging from small biotechs to a majority of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. We provide expert consultancy services centered around quantitative approaches to support drug research, development, and life-cycle decisions, helping increase confidence in decisions for new medicines that improve patients’ lives.
We operate across several interrelated domains, including model-informed drug development (MIDD), pharmacometrics, clinical pharmacology, statistics, physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK), quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP), biopharmaceutics, and regulatory strategy. MIDD has emerged as an integral part of modern pharmaceutical development, strongly encouraged by regulatory agencies for its ability to increase mechanistic understanding and predicting clinical outcomes while saving time and resources.

We have established a solid foundation for further ambitious growth and have been profitable since inception with steadily increasing revenues, earning the Di Gasell award in 2017, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.
