By working with leading companies in life sciences and healthcare in Scotland and Europe, along with research organisations and government bodies, we have developed extensive experience in this sector.
We understand the unique funding situations, the complex relationships between public and private sectors, the regulatory backdrop and the range of scientific and strategic business inputs involved in making these projects happen.
We are also aware of the barriers to successful exploitation such as the cost of protection and underlying patent rights.
