Management
of Scientific Interactions: How to Facilitate Successful
Research Collaborations and Alliances. As a researcher I set up about 150
collaborations with other academic and industry scientists
around the globe. Later in my career, I ran Immunex
Corporation’s Extramural Research Program for four years.
My group was responsible for overseeing some 2500 research
collaborations during that time as well as distributing
over 1000 distinct reagents to more than 1000 scientific
institutions worldwide. I know how to set up, manage, and
organize collaborations that can provide critical data to
your laboratory or organization. Click on
one of the following links to
read about my seminar
presentations on this
topic for people in either industry
or academia. I have also posted a white paper you
can read
that outlines the many
benefits to be gained by research collaborations. You
can also request a number of FREE reprints of articles that I have written about key
issues that increase the probability that your research
collaborations will be successful.
Technology
and Science Assessment, With a General Focus in Oncology
Research. I also Concentrate on the Use of Soluble
Receptors and their Ligands. With twenty-four years of experience in
biotechnology as a scientist, director, and consultant, I
can provide you with valuable insights as to what will and
won’t work in your experimental programs. I can help you
define critical experiments needed to make the key
decisions on your projects. I review data to ensure that
the proper controls are included and can point out other
interpretations of the data that are often overlooked due
to investigator bias. I review presentations for venture
capitalists, the FDA, or scientific meetings to make sure
that the data are clearly presented and the conclusions are
well supported and properly communicated. I also spent 4
years reviewing in-licensing proposals at Immunex. I can
help you review proposals that you have received as part of
your due diligence. As a scientist, I worked on the
characterization of a number of these receptors, including
c-kit, flt3, KDR, v-fms, IL-4, and many others. In addition, my
group identified ligands for the c-kit, flt3, elk, and CD7 receptors. I hold
24 US Patents in this area and authored or
co-authored 129 publications
in scientific journals on
this topic. My advice on developing either soluble
receptors or ligands for these receptors should enable
you to avoid pitfalls on your way to the clinic.
Strategic
Research Planning and Competitive Analysis.
Put my extensive industry
experience to work for you. Where do your drug development
programs stand compared to your competitors? Do you have a
clear strategy in place for deciding which molecules to
pursue aggressively, and which to move to the back burner?
I can help you make clear, rational decisions about your
research and development programs. Perhaps you are simply
looking to obtain an independent opinion that is not tied
to existing company dogma. I can review your current data
and future plans to help you decide the best path for
moving forward. Research budgets have never been tighter
than they are today, so gathering key data is critically
important whether you are a startup or an established
multi-national pharmaceutical corporation. Review my list
of clients and you will see that my skills have
been engaged by organizations of all sizes, from
start-ups to multi-national pharmaceutical companies.
Albert Einstein said it very well "A clever person solves a problem;
a wise person avoids it". Let my advice help you steer clear
of setbacks that could derail your research programs.
