Where we add value

What makes a technical operations
search work.

01

Modality-specific

Biologics, ADCs, oligonucleotides, viral vectors and cell therapies each demand different manufacturing instincts.

02

CDMO fluency

Most emerging companies manufacture externally. We hire people who can lead a CDMO, not only work inside a plant.

03

Scale-up timing

The CMC leader you need for Phase 1 supply differs from the one who readies a commercial process. We plan for both.
