Knowledge management in biotech organizations can range from a highly integrated custom made solution to simple spreadsheets distributed via e-mail. At one end of this spectrum your team may not be realizing the full potential from the current systems that are in place, while at the other end, your data may be ineffectively leveraged. While some data management products carry a significant cost burden, there are options which may suit the needs of smaller organizations that are capable of delivering a tangible return on investment. We are available to help biotech companies adapt their informatics systems to a cost effective, yet highly enabling environment.
Resource & Technology Analysis
Successful biotech organizations are those which maximize their resources in terms of people, process and technology. In order to frame internal resource investment decisions it is prudent to seek assistance from experienced external thought leaders to eliminate potential bias from the decision matrix. Our group provides in-depth resource value analyses to help inform your firm's resource decisions. Some examples of where we can help are:
- Effectiveness of internal vs. outsourced resource proposals
- Internal productivity analyses
- Technology acquisition
Furthermore we can add significant value with strategic input regarding potential integrations and merger/acquisitions by means of thorough confidential due diligence consults.
With the changing dynamics of the drug discovery industry, biotech firms are taking on a larger role of the drug discovery engine across the globe. Despite the growing trend of treating analog synthesis as a commodity, excellence in molecular design remains the key to progress across the entire drug discovery industry. With diversity of design approaches as a critical factor in raising the probability of success, it is important to regularly inject new ideas and perspectives into a design team. Our team at Decision Informatics is in a position to bring in highly talented drug designers to complement your team of medicinal chemists, or to serve as a flexible resource as short, medium, or long term contract designers. Also, circumstances may be such that small gaps exist in your discovery teams that require immediate attention. We can fill any existing resource gaps in the areas of:
- HTS Library Analysis
- Hit Prioritization
- Lead Discovery
- SAR analysis and Chemoinformatics support
- Lead Optimization
- Analog design (both singleton and library design)
- hERG Mitigation
- Toxicophore removal
Please contact us to discuss how we can design compounds to help efficiently move your project forward.
Leaders are talented individuals who know where they are headed and are able to influence others to follow. Good judgment, engaging enthusiasm, and a solid scientific foundation is paramount to success in the challenging environment of "time-bound results" oriented research. We have a track record of extremely effective leadership in many roles throughout the drug discovery process. We look forward to augmenting your leadership pool through the following roles:
- Interim Head of Research
- Consulting Director of Chemistry
- Project Leader
- Executive Talent Assessment
- Mentor to Executive Management and Project Leaders
- Scientific Advisory Board Member
We provide the expertise to help evaluate your current intellectual property as well as help guide you to a solid position for composition of matter. Our experience in drafting chemical matter compound claims and developing comprehensive patent strategies can serve as a workable solution to helping you protect your drug discovery idea.
We can:
- Help teams design analogs to provide proprietary chemical matter
- Assist in patent strategy and drafting claims
- Serve as an expert witness for your legal team
