The Biotechnology and Life Sciences industry is shaped by revolutionary scientific advances and technology; public policy; capital markets; high R&D costs; global competition; short opportunity windows and long time-to-market; generics, counterfeits and re-importing; tougher FDA approval; pharma-biotechnology mergers, acquisitions and partnerships; and shifts towards predictive, preventive and personalized medicine.

We help protect and commercialize discoveries from research centers, bio-entrepreneurs and multinational companies in molecular diagnostics, vaccines and prophylactics, pharmaceuticals and drug discovery, drug delivery, stem cell and tissue engineering, genetics and protein expression, biotechnology research tools, medical devices, environmental biocompatibility, and animal and agricultural biotechnology.
