Providing a continuum of support from strategy through execution

BioSource solves problems that impact all aspects of biotech business and provide a continuum of services from strategy through execution.

In biotechnology enterprises, the science cannot be separate from the business, because the science IS the business. One cannot expect to effectively address a scientific or technical problem without understanding its impact on the marketing and financing of the business. Similarly, one cannot effectively deal with the business issues without recognizing its impact on the science.

We are a unique biotechnology consulting service that assists with strategy development but also implementation as well. Whatever the needs of the organization, from start-up through to commercialization we have the expertise to help. With over 35 years of biotechnology industry and start-up experience, we provide scientific, technical and business guidance to start-ups and growing biotechnology companies. This includes scientific development strategy, business model selection, company valuation, product development and technical problem-solving, clinical trial and regulatory assistance, market development, and fundraising and hiring strategies. We also provide practical advice to increase the monetary value of any type of transaction or negotiation, such as technology licenses, partnerships, alliances and acquisitions.

Our operational business model is to help our client-partners become successful rather than just give advice and leave. Our level of involvement is determined by the needs of, and in coordination with, our client-partner. In addition, BioSource may also consider serving in an interim CEO or Executive-in-Residence capacity to help build the organization to a firm foundation while assisting the company in recruiting a permanent CEO.

For established organizations, we perform market assessment and scientific development strategies that improve product adoption, and we develop management and leadership programs for improved workflow efficiencies and organizational culture.

Testimonials

“BioSource Consulting Group performed the due diligence we needed to assess our potential investment in a biotechnology company’s product. Their insight into the technical component was tremendous, but they also gleaned the overlapping business, regulatory, financial and operational risks that helped us make an informed investment decision. They also provided an alternate investment structure proposal that gave us confidence in making our final decision. I certainly will use them again!”

"The BioSource Consulting Group helped us with the evaluation and negotiation of a license for a core technology of services. They analyzed the situation and provided recommendations for securing this license, along with potential alternatives. BioSource Consulting then negotiated the best deal terms that were cost effective and considerably less than the licensee’s original proposal. We secured the license and saved capital using their services. Dr. Shimasaki was a pleasure to work with."

"I have worked with Dr Shimasaki on several biotech projects over the past ten years, most recently as a consultant to [my company]. I have sought his advice on both business development and technological issues, and his input has been uniquely on point as NBMI has grown and expanded. As an example, his recent work with our research team led to a successful NSF SBIR grant award. We have greatly valued his contribution!"

"BioSource Consulting assessed our current market and business to provide a strategic plan for the growth, marketing and positioning of each of our technology services. They interviewed our staff, provided leadership training for our managers, and gave targeted recommendations for changes, which we are continuing to implement. Since making these changes we have seen and experienced opportunities for growth. Along with the recommended streamlined processes, we are on course to be a more efficient and effective organization. Sometimes it takes an independent observer to recognize those processes within your organization that are either ineffective or significantly underutilized. I would recommend BioSource Consulting to any organization that wants help with their strategic marketing and operations functions and find ways to increase their revenue and bottom line."
