Independent chemistry, chemical-development and small-molecule CMC consultancy
Founder-led support from Dr Urvish Pandya, combining broad CMC programme leadership with deep organic and process chemistry, engineering-informed scale-up, CDMO oversight, technology transfer and manufacturing experience.
Founder-led independent support
Allotrope Scientific is an independent consultancy founded by Dr Urvish Pandya. Clients work directly with Urvish for strategic, fractional and hands-on support, with additional specialist collaboration used only where the programme requires it and with the client's agreement.
Introduction
Broad Industry Expertise:Over 30 years of experience spanning pharmaceuticals, fine and speciality chemicals, organic electronics, renewables, and bio-refining, providing a deep understanding of diverse chemical landscapes.
Comprehensive Approach:Bridging chemistry with engineering, quality, and regulatory expertise, we ensure processes are not only scientifically sound but also Compliant, Efficient, Scalable, and Sustainable.
Seamless Integration:Our multidisciplinary knowledge enables us to anticipate challenges, mitigate risks, and optimise processes—delivering solutions that meet technical and commercial objectives.
Our Services
We offer expert process development and scale-up solutions, with a focus on three engagement pillars:
CMC leadership and advisory -Fractional, strategic and project-based leadership from preclinical development through commercial readiness.
Chemical development, scale-up and manufacture -Organic/process chemistry, route and process development, engineering-informed scale-up, technology transfer and GMP/manufacturing support.
Technical investigation and problem-solving -Independent assessment of defined impurity, process, robustness, supplier, reactive-chemistry or manufacturing problems.
When clients involve Allotrope
- A discovery route must become suitable for preclinical, clinical or GMP development.
- Chemistry works in the laboratory but behaves differently or unreliably at scale.
- An unexpected impurity, process deviation or recurring manufacturing problem needs independent investigation.
- A CDMO programme or technology transfer needs stronger technical oversight.
- A company needs an experienced organic chemist who also understands CMC, quality and manufacturing consequences.
