"Forming a partnership with Bridge4Bio allows life sciences and biotechnology companies, both large and small, to maximize their growth potential while working with tight budgets," explained Hugh Douglas, Bridge4Bio's president. "Start-ups, small to mid-sized companies or those organizations needing to develop and expand their business globally with limited resources can all benefit from our global team of experts that are highly skilled and experienced at driving and managing operations, marketing, sales and business development across the full spectrum of the life sciences sector".

Bridge4Bio's knowledge and expertise covers academic research, drug discovery, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, proteomics and genomics, medical devices and diagnostics.

Douglas continued: "Bridge4Bio provides our clients the experience of a network of ten international life sciences and biotechnology consultants who have all experienced first-hand the start-up and growth challenges faced by life sciences and biotechnology businesses in global markets".
"We cover the world. Clients benefit from our pool of experienced professionals immediately."

"Another advantage of using Bridge4Bio's team is that we recognize that companies may not have the funds for high-priced consultants. So much of our fee structure is charged as commissions based on the sales/results of a growing business. The client pays us based on the success of the implementation which means that the up-front cost and risk is further reduced for our clients."
