KONNECTED's Life Sciences Practice works with a diverse spectrum of organizations, including companies in ethical and over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, devices and supplies, diagnostics, and biotechnology. We help clients address a full range of strategic, competitive, operational, and technology issues.

Prescription Pharmaceuticals

We advise clients on opportunities in licensing and alliances, portfolio management, and existing and emerging therapeutic areas and technologies. Because R&D pipelines and the search for the next blockbuster are essential to continued strong performance, we help clients develop sound R&D strategies. We also address issues such as digital media, sales force management, direct-to-consumer advertising, global product launches, and life cycle management as patents expire.

Biotechnology

The mapping of the human genome is leading the charge for new drugs and treatment regimens. We help pharmaceutical biotechnology companies identify promising technologies, new entities, and improved therapies based on genomics, informatics, proteomics, and other biotech advances. We also assist clients in developing partner, acquisition, and licensing strategies.

Medical Products and Diagnostics

The medical products and diagnostics industries are large and diverse, ranging from simple supply items to life-saving cardiovascular products. We work with clients to identify and pursue new products, technologies, and businesses, as well as to chart strategies for global leadership, including acquisitions.

OTC Medicines

As more prescription drugs become available over the counter, we help clients assess their opportunities, explore partnerships with consumer product companies, understand the regulatory hurdles, and measure the impact on prescription sales.
