New Century Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

A Biotechnology Research & Development Company

- Pioneering Tomorrow's Therapeutics -

About image
New Century Pharmaceuticals (NCP) is a biotechnology based pharmaceutical research and development company founded as a spinout from NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in 1997 with corporate offices in Huntsville, Alabama.  NCP has core expertise in structural molecular biology and nanomaterial engineering with an active program in microgravity science support services in partnership with Teledyne Brown.

Notable R&D:
  • Completion of a major structural survey of drug transport chemistry at atomic resolution for the purposes of designing improvements in the safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals
  • Pioneering the development of self-assembling nanoparticles for diagnostic, therapeutic and vaccine applications. NCP self-assembling ferritin nanoparticles are currently transforming the approach to vaccine development




Microgravity Science & Applications

Microgravity Science & Applications

NCP has been an early pioneer in material science applications in microgravity with science and hardware development support services related to macromolecular crystal growth. Historically, our company and experience has included a highly successful series of multi-user payloads flown under contract though NASA on the Space Shuttle, the Russian Mir Space Station, and the International Space Station.
