What we do

We work where quality, operations and business decisions meet. Each engagement is led by senior practitioners, not handed down to junior teams.

Quality and GMP management

Quality systems that hold up in front of any inspector, and teams that can run them.

  • QMS design, gap assessment and remediation
  • FDA 483 and Warning Letter response
  • EMA, FDA and national authority inspection readiness
  • QP support and batch certification readiness
  • Deviation, CAPA and change control systems
  • Data integrity and quality culture programs

Sterile manufacturing and operational excellence

Aseptic operations that are compliant, efficient and robust at the same time.

  • Annex 1 (2022) implementation and Contamination Control Strategy
  • Aseptic filling line design, oversight and optimisation
  • Isolator and RABS bio-decontamination validation
  • Aseptic process simulation and intervention assessment
  • Qualification and validation of equipment, processes and cleaning
  • Engineering support, P&IDs and facility design review

CMO and CDMO management

Choosing, onboarding and overseeing manufacturing partners on your behalf.

  • CMO/CDMO scouting, qualification and audits
  • Quality agreements and technical agreements
  • Person-in-plant and QA oversight
  • Performance governance, KPIs and escalation
  • Technology transfer between sites and regions
  • Supply continuity and second-source strategies

Plasma, biologics and specialty products

Deep experience in plasma-derived medicines and complex biologics.

  • Plasma collection and SoHO compliance
  • Plasma fractionation strategy and contract fractionation
  • Insulin and GLP-1 pen assembly and fill-finish
  • Oncology manufacturing and quality support
  • Medical affairs and clinical trial support
  • Market entry and regulatory pathways in MENA

Innovation and new technologies

Bringing novel platforms from the lab to a regulated, manufacturable product.

  • Organ-on-Chip (OOC) diagnostic innovation
  • GMP-readiness for novel therapies and devices
  • Business cases and investor-ready roadmaps

Featured programs

Beyond advisory mandates, we shape long-term initiatives that strengthen regional pharmaceutical capability.

Local manufacturing

Insulin and GLP-1 manufacturing for the GCC

The MENA region has the highest diabetes prevalence in the world, yet most insulin and GLP-1 therapies are imported. We have designed a phased, low-risk roadmap to build local supply capability in the UAE, starting at the end of the value chain and moving upstream as the organisation matures.

Phase 1

Oral antidiabetics

Establish a GMP organisation and local manufacturing licence with solid-dose products.

Phase 2

Pen assembly

Add insulin and GLP-1 pen assembly under GMP, building sterile handling capability.

Phase 3

Aseptic fill and finish

Extend into sterile cartridge filling for insulin analogues and GLP-1 agonists.

Innovation

Organ-on-Chip technologies

Organ-on-Chip systems reproduce human tissue function on microfluidic devices, opening new routes to diagnostics and to faster, more human-relevant drug development. We advise innovators on taking these platforms toward regulated, scalable products.

  • Development strategy for Organ-on-Chip (OOC) diagnostic platforms
  • Quality and regulatory readiness for device, diagnostic and pharmaceutical pathways
  • Manufacturing scale-up and partner selection
  • Investor and partner communication grounded in technical reality
Plasma

Plasma collection and fractionation readiness

We help blood establishments and investors raise plasma collection to EU GMP standard, prepare for authority inspections, and secure contract fractionation, so that plasma collected locally returns as immunoglobulins, albumin and coagulation factors for local patients.

  • Feasibility and financial modelling for collection and fractionation programs
  • GMP and SoHO upgrade of transfusion and collection centres
  • Fractionator partnering, plasma master file and inspection support

How we manage your CMOs

Outsourced manufacturing only works when someone owns the relationship with technical depth. We act as that owner, from first audit to routine supply.

1

Assess

Define product, capacity and regulatory needs, then screen and audit candidate CMOs and CDMOs.

2

Contract

Negotiate quality and technical agreements that make responsibilities clear and enforceable.

3

Transfer

Lead technology transfer, qualification and process validation through to first commercial batches.

4

Oversee

Provide ongoing QA oversight, KPI reviews and person-in-plant support to keep supply on track.
