AMARIN's research and development capabilities allow the company to perform and control all aspects of the product development process. An experienced team coordinates all of the company's research, project planning and product development programs. The company performs an exhaustive background analysis of the selected agent for a transdermal formulation before beginning the developments, including the search for documentation in databases and the evaluation of the patent status. In this field, specialized personnel of the company permanently consult services such as STN International, European Patent Office and United States Patent and Trademark Office. AMARIN possesses formulation and analytical laboratories, which follow GLP guidelines.

AMARIN designs and performs pre-clinical and clinical studies following GLP and GCP guidelines carrying out properly designed protocols in order to evaluate safety, bioavailability/bioequivalence and the efficacy/safety of the products under development. Clinical trials are performed according to cGCP standards and local regulations in hospitals and other health centers. The study protocols are presented to the local Ministry of Health for authorization, after being approved by either Institutional Review Boards (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committees (IEC). Qualified personnel closely supervise the  trial execution, perform the statistical analyses and issues the final study report according ICH recommendations.
