About us
Transforming ideas into impact
A history of life-changing life science
We’ve come a long way from our founding in 1991 as Albany Molecular Research, Inc. (AMRI). Originally known for the discovery and development of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in Allegra, we’ve built a strong foundation over the past three decades. Now known as Curia, we’re always evolving to add a wide array of new capabilities and developing a comprehensive suite of solutions capable of serving customers across the drug development spectrum.


End-to-end capabilities backed by industry-leading expertise
From early discovery and development through manufacturing and commercialization, our suite of custom solutions allows us to tailor every engagement to your precise needs, whether that’s an independent project or an opportunity that cuts across the drug continuum. Our capabilities are always growing, driven by our talented, experienced team and continued investment in cutting-edge technologies.
We take great pride in a track record that stands among the best in the industry. No matter what we’re working on, you can trust Curia to deliver every solution to the highest standard—the direct result of unmatched expertise and decades of experience completing projects just like yours.
The power of partnership
No matter the type of your engagement, you’ll benefit from an approach tailored to the needs of your business—and the patients you ultimately serve. We partner with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies on projects spanning every stage of drug development, working together to help businesses of all sizes realize the full potential of their molecules.
Expertise you can count on
Guided by an experienced leadership team, Curia’s 3,000+ experts have shepherded thousands of complex projects through to completion. And while they span a wide range of expertise and represent a variety of perspectives, every member of our team is united by a common goal: to help our customers improve patients’ lives.
