In today’s innovation landscape, product development isn’t just about science—it’s about connection. The most impactful solutions are built by teams that blend clinical expertise, scientific insight, and lived experience. Whether you’re developing a therapeutic, a diagnostic, or a wellness product, the guidance of a multidisciplinary advisory panel can be transformative.
At Kolabtree, we make it possible to build such panels—flexibly, efficiently, and on demand. You can access experts from across disciplines, geographies, and industries, tailored exactly to your mission.
To illustrate what this looks like in practice, let’s walk through a typical example of how an advisory board can be assembled to support a project with deep clinical, emotional, and product complexity.
Medical Oncologist
Medical oncologists bring deep expertise on cancer diagnosis, treatment protocols, and patient sensitivities. Their input is crucial when developing products for cancer patients, especially to ensure safety, medical compatibility, and adherence to treatment-related considerations. On Kolabtree, you can connect with practicing oncologists or academic researchers specializing in specific cancer types or treatment phases.
Oncology-Focused Dermatologist
The skin is often a frontline casualty of cancer treatment. From radiation burns to chemotherapy-induced sensitivity, the effects on the skin can be severe. An oncology-trained dermatologist can advise on dermato-toxic effects, safe ingredients, and the best formulations for compromised skin. Kolabtree offers access to dermatologists with both clinical experience and research backgrounds.
Nurse Navigator or Survivorship Specialist
Nurse navigators and survivorship experts are essential bridges between clinical care and the lived experience of patients. They offer insight into practical needs, daily challenges, and emotional considerations that can shape how a product is used or perceived. These professionals understand what it means to support a patient holistically, and Kolabtree’s platform allows direct access to their guidance.
Integrative or Functional Medicine Practitioner
Patients often turn to integrative medicine during or after cancer treatment. These experts consider whole-body wellness, including nutrition, stress reduction, and alternative therapies. Their perspectives can help align your product with broader healing philosophies. Kolabtree includes practitioners with deep scientific grounding and integrative expertise.
Cosmetic Formulator / Botanical Biochemist
Of course, a great idea needs to be translated into a great product. A cosmetic formulator with experience in botanical or medical-grade ingredients can take concept to prototype—balancing safety, function, and sensory experience. Through Kolabtree, you can work with formulators who specialize in natural, sensitive-skin, or oncology-safe formulations.

A Purpose-Driven Example: Developing Skincare for Individuals Undergoing Cancer Treatment
To understand the impact of a well-composed advisory board, consider a recent project posted on Kolabtree that focused on developing skincare and cosmetic products designed for people undergoing cancer treatment.
The goal was to create formulations that were both medically safe for those with compromised health and emotionally supportive, recognizing that cancer treatment often affects not only the body, but also one’s sense of self and confidence.
To bring this vision to life, the project required insight from a wide range of experts, including:
- Medical oncologists, to ensure the product would not interfere with treatment regimens
- Oncology-focused dermatologists, to advise on the effects of chemotherapy and radiation on skin health
- Formulators and biochemists, to develop gentle, effective, and suitable formulations
- Survivorship experts and patient advocates, to help center the lived experience and emotional needs of users
- Sustainability consultants, to explore environmentally responsible alternatives to traditional cosmetic packaging and materials
By using Kolabtree, the client was able to bring together a multidisciplinary team—each expert contributing valuable insights that shaped the direction, safety, and purpose of the final product.
The result? A development process that balanced clinical precision with compassionate design, demonstrating the powerful role that science-led collaboration can play in creating products that truly serve those in need.
