Independent scientific counsel for programs moving from mechanism to the clinic.
Identifying and validating novel targets grounded in human biology data — human genetics, multi-omics, and patient-derived evidence — to build a defensible mechanistic case before a program moves forward.
Mechanism-driven program design and IND-enabling strategy — bridging preclinical insight and first-in-human decisions through translational medicine, with a clear line of scientific reasoning at every step.
Assay strategy, biomarker qualification, and data interpretation that de-risk clinical decisions from Phase 1 through registration — including central lab selection, kit build and validation, clinical pharmacology and PK/PD modeling, diagnostic and companion diagnostic development, and the operational logistics that keep biomarker data trial-ready.
Regulatory advice from a biomarker and diagnostic development standpoint — assay and companion diagnostic regulatory strategy, agency interactions, and evidence packages built to align biomarker data with its intended clinical use.
