About us

Discover Masinova’s mission, values, and development philosophy—built on QbD, SOP-driven execution, and decision-quality data. Learn how we de-risk programs and accelerate translation from discovery through preclinical development and Phase I readiness, with details available under NDA.

Our mission

Masinova’s mission is to translate rigorous, reproducible science into safe, effective therapies—advancing programs efficiently from discovery through preclinical development and into Phase I clinical testing. We apply Quality-by-Design (QbD) principles to strengthen reproducibility, integrate safety early, and enable disciplined, decision-driven translation.

Our values

Our approach to drug development is defined by three core values:

Rigor & Reproducibility

We apply disciplined experimental design, SOP-driven execution, and high-quality data standards to generate repeatable, decision-ready evidence.

Safety-by-Design

We integrate safety and risk assessment early—building programs with a clear path to IND-enabling requirements and first-in-human readiness.

Efficient Translation

We use milestone-based planning and defined go/no-go criteria to move programs efficiently from discovery through preclinical development and into Phase I.

Founder CEO

Masinova is founded and led by Mandana Daraei Fathabad, Founder & CEO. Mandana brings a rigor-led, Quality-by-Design (QbD) approach to therapeutic R&D—translating precise research into development-ready programs built for reproducibility, early safety integration, and efficient progression from preclinical milestones toward Phase I.

"Masinova is committed to raising the standard for reproducible, Quality-by-Design drug development."
