Stands alone as the only comprehensive university-based drug manufacturing lab in the country registered with the FDA. Its scientists develop, test, and manufacture drugs in a variety of forms and for various purposes, but with one common goal: to relieve human suffering.

Pharmaceuticals handles approximately 40 clients each year, including lone innovative researchers, NASDAQ and New York Stock Exchange-traded companies, government agencies, and other research institutions. Each year, the division produces more than 120 batches of pharmaceutical products. Most big-name manufacturers churn out mass quantities of one drug on their production lines, but that’s not the case at Iowa. Instead, lab staff produces a range of medicines in all phases of drug development—from initial testing in humans to commercial production.
