Peapod

Peapod Bio is a private contract research organization focused on assay development, high-throughput screening, and hit-discovery support for small molecule drug discovery programs. The company positions itself as a rapid-turnaround partner for biochemical assays, using label-free and orthogonal technologies built around high-throughput MALDI mass spectrometry. Its services appear geared toward pharma and biotech customers rather than development of an internal therapeutic pipeline. Peapod Bio also offers access to screening workflows that can incorporate external compound libraries through strategic collaborations. Overall, the company is best characterized as an enabling drug discovery services company rather than a therapeutic developer.
