Scientific Due Diligence: A Handbook for Investigators and Investors

Many a blockbuster drug began in the mind of a single entrepreneur. From start-ups to spin-offs, there are no lack of options for a company or venture capitalist to license or invest into.

But how can you know that this is the correct investment? The correct option to choose? The one which will lead to financial success and a nice end-of-year bonus?

This is where scientific due diligence comes in, the independent, realistic and critical review of a potential technology. From early development data through to clinical study results, patents to competitor analysis, the due diligence process is essential for any investment decision.

We have developed this handbook to guide investors and due diligence investigators through the minefield of scientific due diligence in the pharmaceutical world. It covers best-practice approaches, traps to avoid, and the most important areas to focus your limited time on.

Investing in pharma? Then this is the book for you.
