In Reply To: I am about to graduate with my PhD from a top institution and am loooking to move into consulting. I know that boutique firms w/ specializations in biotech exist, but there is no centralized listing that I have been able to find (and am unlikey to) If anyone does know of biotech strategy firms could you please let me know. mjmiley@swbell.net thanks
Message: Biotech companies themselves are really just glorified research projects. Start firms are weak on technical evalauation or competetive technical intelligence. Also, the size of a biotech means it does need the org studies and crap like that. I guess there could be a some stuff on market evaluation (market sizing) and on drug launch. But you might as well be a pharma boutiqeu then, not a biotech boutique. I can see something in terms of a boutique that did evaluation for investors. But it would be pretty technical and would have patent expertise and the like. SEriously, just wondering what the hell a biotech boutique would be. What studies would it sell, to who?
