The Biopharmaceutical Consortium is an expert team formed in 1997 to assist life science companies, research groups, and emerging enterprises.

The Consortium combines the advantages of large and small consulting firms:

Eexpansive depth and breadth of experience without the training and overhead burdens associated with large, relatively junior staffs. Each engagement is strictly tailored to client needs and executed by one or more established experts in life science management and executive counsel. Capabilities in technology strategy and new-product commercialization distinguish the Consortium from most management consulting firms.

Clients served by Consortium members include:

  • Major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
  • Emerging life science firms
  • Research and diagnostic products companies
  • Producers of laboratory equipment and supplies
  • Investors and intermediaries
  • Large professional service firms.
