Both our publications and our consulting engagements focus on the same therapeutic areas. We apply similar types of research and analysis in both our publications (for example, our recent cancer immunotherapy and gene therapy reports) and our consulting engagements. However, our consulting engagements focus on your company’s specific issues, and on developing executable recommendations for action in collaboration with you and your colleagues.
