Our Team

Though both of us having a scientific and medical background, each with over 20 years of experience, we have developed over time a truly complementary experience in strategy and development and have a complete vision of drug development from Research to Market Authorization and beyond.

This today allows us to cover together a very broad scope of what our partners precisely expect from us, from very early (even virtual) product inception all the way through to market launch and life cycle management.
