NEWTOWN, Pa., Nov. 11, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MD Becker Partners LLC, a boutique management and strategy consulting firm focusing on both public and private companies in the life sciences industry, recently celebrated the second anniversary of the firm's founding.
In response to the need for strategic advice backed by real-world, in-house experience in the life sciences industry and financial sector, MD Becker Partners was formed in November 2008 to help companies increase visibility, unlock stakeholder value and access resources to grow their business. The firm's two senior partners, onetime industry executive Michael D. Becker and life science veteran Janet L. Dally, have more than 35 years of experience in both the scientific and business aspects of biotechnology.
In just two years, MD Becker Partners has demonstrated a strong success record as highlighted by the following:
-
Launched its Life Science Digest online newsletter and published more than 30 original articles covering scientific, clinical, and financial aspects of the sector
-
Co-hosted two successful conference events -- the Stem Cell Investor & Executive Networking Conference Event (S.C.I.E.N.C.E.) and Cancer Immunotherapy: A Long-Awaited Reality Conference, each of which attracted nearly 200 attendees
-
Published original industry research, such as the firm's 150-page report titled "Cancer Vaccine Therapies: Failures and Future Opportunities" that includes interviews with key opinion leaders and profiles of nearly 40 companies
- Developed and implemented regulatory strategies for several clients, including two successful awards for Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
"We are very proud of our accomplishments in only two years," said Michael Becker. "As a strategic advisor and partner, our valued clients have depended on our objective, third-party perspectives and additional expertise to help solve a myriad of corporate challenges during this difficult economic period."
Janet Dally added, "We are fortunate to have represented more than a dozen innovative companies working to address unmet medical needs in the areas of cancer, central nervous system disorders and many other diseases. We are energized daily by our client's enthusiasm and passion for their products, pipeline candidates, and corporate vision."
