Acumen would be foremost known for its paradigm-setting drug discovery program, which involved ultra-high-throughput screening of billions of discrete small molecules in rational and targeted drug discovery campaigns to discover bioactive chemical compounds that specifically modulated pathologically-associated cellular signaling pathways to ameliorate human disease.

Eventually, Acumen would elicit sufficient interest from the Imperial military that it would embark on collaborations with the to develop chemical countermeasures for Imperial soldiers in the field that were engaged by biological or chemical weapons of mass destruction. Acumen countermeasures would become standard equipment for Imperial special operations forces embarked on counterproliferation operations with a potential of encountering such weapons of mass destruction.
