D3 Development

D3 Development, Inc. was a specialized contract development organization (CDO) that provided strategic and operational drug development services to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Founded by former FDA officials and industry veterans, the company was a pioneer in the "virtual" drug development model, enabling clients to advance therapeutic candidates through clinical trials without the need for extensive internal infrastructure. D3 Development focused on regulatory strategy, clinical trial design, and project management to streamline the path from discovery to market. The company was acquired by PPD (Pharmaceutical Product Development) in 2003 to strengthen its strategic development and consulting capabilities and now operates as part of Thermo Fisher Scientific.
