_“UAB “Valentis” is a part of international group of companies, which are active in all stages of
the development of medicines: starting with development of preparation, its registration, production, and finishing with its selling and pharmacovigilance. RTD activities and production performed in Lithuania needs highly qualified and creative employees. After review of the scheduled main results of these studies, it can be concluded that specialists of medicinal chemistry will have a good theoretical preparation and will be able to apply their knowledge in practice. It is very likely that interdisciplinary nature of the preparation of specialists will enable a more versatile implementation of their ideas.”_– UAB “Valentis”, Member of the Board, Vaidotas Deveikis.
