Biotech Consulting of Arizona, LLC provides consulting services to biotech and life sciences companies in the areas of consumer products, over-the-counter products, oral care products, applied genomics and molecular diagnostic products, operations laboratory support and technology evaluation as well as representing foreign companies in the USA.
The company was founded this year by Jaiprakash Shewale, Ph.D., who has more than 30 years of leadership experience spanning consumer (OTC drugs and cosmetics), oral care, applied genomics, molecular diagnostics and pharmaceutical industries. Dr. Shewale transformed innovative research to address unmet customer needs by commercializing some 20 products; these products were launched globally, on time and within budget. He is an inventor on 11 U.S.- and 17 Indian-issued patents that led to the success of organizations where he worked. Additionally, he is an accomplished researcher in different areas of life sciences, has authored 118 peer-reviewed research publications, has been editor for five special issues of Forensic Science Review and edited a CRC book.
“Many small and startup companies try to capitalize on the technical feasibility, proof of concept or prototype of a technology. However, commercial feasibility of the technology is an important activity to attract the investors,” Dr. Shewale explains.
Dr. Shewale has observed that many merger and acquisition proposals do not succeed and that one possible factor is that M&A teams, in general, focus on the financial aspects and potential of a company. He believes a preliminary technical assessment of the technology prior to initiating due diligence activity could increase the success rate of M&A. He founded Biotech Consulting of Arizona to help bridge these gaps — specifically, to bridge the gap between the technology and its commercial potential by way of either demonstrating commercial feasibility of a technology for attracting investors or conducting technical assessment at an early stage in the M&A process.
“Our mission is to provide exceptional professional and scientific support to organizations for achieving their corporate goals, thereby helping people to live healthier and longer lives,” Dr. Shewale says.
