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 Progam 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

collaborations.
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 two 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, Elk, 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
22 U.S. Patents
in this area and
authored or co-authored 121 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. 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 any setbacks that could derail your
research programs.
