Chao Center for Industrial Pharmacy and Contract Manufacturing

The Chao Center for Industrial Pharmacy and Contract Manufacturing is a specialized contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) owned by the Purdue Research Foundation. Located in the Purdue Research Park, the center provides a range of services including formulation development, analytical testing, and cGMP manufacturing for solid oral dosage forms. It is particularly distinguished for its commitment to producing orphan drugs and legacy products that are medically necessary but low-volume, most notably serving as a global provider of Cycloserine for multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. The center supports both early-stage clinical trial materials and commercial-scale production for the pharmaceutical industry.
