About us

We state that "KYMOS is your reliable partner for research and development". This is our leitmotif. But it doesn't just sound good. It's our mission as a company. We want to be your PARTNER, not a service provider. This means that we are be part of the projects we are working on and share the goals of the companies we work for.

KYMOS was founded in 2001 by a group of professionals with more than 10 years of experience in research and development in the pharmaceutical industry. The staff members were clients before being suppliers, acquiring extensive knowledge of pharma company needs and priorities.

We are a team of highly qualified chemistry and pharmacy PhDs and graduates, who have been responsible for key research and quality control departments within the pharmaceutical sector. We understand our clients’ concerns far beyond the service we provide, as we have experienced similar professional situations and we speak the same language. To join our team, Click Here.

Our headquarters are in a fantastic spot, at the foot of Collserola Park, Barcelona's green lung. We share a scientific environment with the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the Alba Syncrothon and many biopharmaceutical companies within walking distance. We have two free-standing buildings with 1,500 m2 for labs and 1,000 m2 for offices.

We have been making huge investments in recent years so we can offer you the state-of-the-art technology. All our equipment, instruments and software are properly validated and qualified according to applicable regulations with appropriate maintenance contracts, and most of them have an internal back-up.
