What is R&D Process Development?
R&D process development is the research and development (R&D) for process development. More specifically, R&D process development is the work associated with the research and development of processes for your medical device, product, or drug. These processes could be sterilization processes, manufacturing processes, quality control processes, packaging processes, or an assortment of other methods put in place to ensure the quality and functionality of your medical product from manufacturing to the point of use. When you are outsourcing various product creation, manufacturing, testing, purity, packaging, sterilization, and transportation components to your product, you will naturally outsource R&D process development work.
Who needs R&D process development work?
Often start-up and small companies will outsource all or parts of their product creation, development, manufacturing, and testing work to contract testing or contract manufacturing organizations that specialize in supporting their needs.
What are the time and cost advantages of outsourcing R&D process development work?
There are many cost advantages to outsourcing various research and development projects. For example, when outsourcing your work, you (the company) do not need to spend the time and money hiring specialty staff for your projects. Additionally, you do not need to purchase expensive specialized equipment, train staff to use the equipment, or pay for maintenance costs. Outsourcing with the right teams provides years of expertise in your area of interest at your fingertips, which results in time savings and the prevention of costly development mistakes. Further, the resources and networks established by your chosen outsourcing company are at your disposal instead of needed to build those connections and set up contractual agreements by hand. These are just some of the benefits of outsourcing various production, manufacturing, packaging, and testing costs for medical devices, drugs, or other products.
What is involved with the R&D process development?
R&D process development work gives you (the company) access to some or all of the below:
- Qualified expert staff for the projects or work you need to be completed
- High-end specialty testing and manufacturing equipment
- Clean rooms and certified facilities
- Suppliers for raw materials or bulk products
- Small quantities of product at bulk pricing
- Reports and documentation for all projects & tasks

Our expert staff has experience supporting R&D work for all levels of your medical product (prototyping, scaling, testing, and manufacturing). We begin our conversations with new clients by getting an idea of the needs for your project (resources, equipment, skills, tests, etc.), your timeline, and your budget. We then provide a custom proposal based on your unique project(s). Our R&D process development approach to communication differentiates us from our competition. We provide communication with our clients every step of the way, such that our clients receive near-immediate responses for their requests or project adjustments.
Further, we communicate with our clients regularly during the R&D process, providing consistent progress updates and reports as soon as they are available. Furthermore, MycoScience provides seamless internal communication amongst our staff and various departments. At MycoScience, our departments have a free-flowing exchange of knowledge. This free-flowing knowledge exchange enables us to provide cost-effective solutions and project development speed with excellence since one hand knows what the other hand is doing.
In larger corporate structures with multiple locations, departmental communication is often delayed and inefficient due to organizational protocols that have been put in place. While MycoScience has only a single base of operation, we shine in our capacity to bring the communication and personalized care you would traditionally find from a small local business to the realm of contract testing and manufacturing.
