Approach

Galthera Research is a network of drug development professionals combined with deep consulting expertise. This model is designed to help biopharma leaders optimise their drug development capabilities and infrastructure. As a collective with experience across the development value chain, our teams can support biopharma clients from a position of understanding, allowing them to fully integrate with your people. Connect to learn more about our unique positioning.

Galthera Philosophy

  • Experience Matters

    An intuitive understanding of R&D, best developed through direct experience, is needed to serve clients in this space.

  • Positive ROI

    Is the juice worth the squeeze? Align on, and quantify, a reasonable expectation that the outcomes will justify the client investment and effort.

  • No "land and expand"

    Focus rigorously on delivering the contracted work for the client. If it’s good enough they’ll ask again.

  • Be accountable

    If you sell the project, you deliver the work. No “bait and switch”. Senior team are fully involved in delivery & not just SMEs.

Confidence in a better partnership

Core domain experience is critical to understanding the business of drug development and working with you. This is why delivery teams are assembled from the Galthera network according to the required domain of R&D expertise. They are led by seasoned consulting executives with in-house pharma and/or biotech experience. This is what allows us to better integrate with your teams to deliver meaningful solutions and have impact.

Working “In-the-business” versus “On-the-business”?

Whether you need to drive systemic change or require temporary support to keep projects moving, Galthera provides the building blocks. Our flexible, expert-led delivery model is designed to support your drug development teams in two key ways:

  • On the business: Strategic expertise to guide and enable transformative change programs.

  • In the business: Ad-hoc membership and fractional staffing to seamlessly integrate with your existing teams.

Biopharma drug development is a unique environment. An understanding of the issues and culture really only comes from working in Pharma R&D. Galthera Research is a fit-for-purpose alternative to traditional management consulting that puts a consulting wrapper around core drug development expertise instead of attempting to retrofit standard management strategies onto the nuances of R&D.
