IriSys Company History

IriSys, Inc. was founded in 1996 by Gerald J. Yakatan, Ph.D. with the goal of establishing a premier West Coast pharmaceutical product development contract services organization.  After fifteen years, the Company has grown from a small laboratory focused on formulation development to an organization that offers pharmaceutical research and development and cGMP manufacturing and, most recently full regulatory strategic planning services.  IriSys provides a full spectrum of pharmaceutical product development contract services designed to move compounds from early research to Phase I/II clinical trials.  As a result of years of hands-on experience in every facet of pharmaceutical formulation, IriSys understands what is required to move a compound through the development pipeline.

IriSys’ scientific management is composed of prominent pharmaceutical product development leaders from industry and academia.  IriSys offers the expertise of bringing new products to the market quickly and efficiently.  Under the direction of Gerald J. Yakatan, Ph.D. , IriSys has built a reputation for excellence and timeliness in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
