5 Benefits of Hiring Life Science Consultants (Biotech/Pharma)

Life science consultants for biotech and pharma

The biotech industry is growing at a rapid pace every day. Life science consultants are becoming increasingly in-demand for SMBs to be able to access specialist skills easily. This article explores 5 ways life science, biotech and pharma organizations can benefit from contract services. 

Biotechnology uses living organisms and matter to create products and technologies that are beneficial to us. Its applications include pharma & healthcare, food, environment and agriculture. Major pharma companies around the world offer a range of biologics and biotech-based therapies: Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Novartis, Roche, Sanofi, Merck and Novo Nordisk, to name a few. Biopharma companies that focus on biotech and genetic therapies include Amgen, Celgene, Gilead Life Sciences and Seattle Genetics.

Biotech companies of all sizes have to go through rigorous regulatory process to bring a drug to the market. There is painstaking research that goes into every product, involving several skills including data analysis, statistics and writing. While companies with large budgets may have in-house resources, smaller companies frequently outsource these tasks to contract organizations. Here are some of the top five biotech contract services offered by experts.

1. Regulatory affairs consulting

Regulatory affairs consultants can help companies with regulatory strategy, gap analysis, transplant registration and regulatory interactions. Regulatory medical writers can help with submissions such as those for the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). Medical device companies worldwide (some of which form a part of biotech/pharma companies) also support from clinical evaluation report writers to develop CERs for MDR compliance.

2. Life science consulting services

Qualified industry experts can help with the development of business strategies and R&D activities required to develop and launch a successful product in the market. Genetics & genomics experts can advise on gene editing and gene therapy, whereas biotechnologists can provide guidance on lab-grown meat strategies.

Biostatisticians can suggest which parameters to change and routes to getting desirable results. Services include:
