Translational medicine & biomarker strategy

High-impact biomarker data that accelerates programs — and proves the narrative behind them

Correlative Science Catalysts is an independent practice built on twenty years of translational science leadership in immunology, oncology, and cell therapy. I help biotech teams turn biomarker data into two things at once: faster, better-informed development decisions, and the evidence that supports a credible product narrative for regulators, investors, and partners.

Accelerate the program

Data that shortens the distance to a decision

High-impact biomarker data sharpens patient selection, speeds up go/no-go calls, and gives dose-selection decisions a foundation that holds up as a program moves from Phase 1 toward registration.

Support the narrative

Correlative data as evidence, not just results

The same biomarker findings become the evidence a program needs — for an FDA meeting, a licensing discussion, or an investor deciding whether the mechanism is real. I help translate the data into that story.

Where I can help

A practice built around three questions every program eventually has to answer.

What should we measure, and why?

Biomarker and translational medicine strategy, from indication selection through target product profile.

Who runs it day to day?

Hands-on program leadership for clinical biomarker work, from Phase 1 through registrational trials.

Who else needs to be in the room?

CRO and academic partnerships, CDx partner selection, and the internal team to hold it all together.

If a program needs biomarker data that speeds up a decision and holds up as evidence later, let's talk.
