Helping biotech companies translate innovative therapeutics into clinical reality
I am Catherine Owczarek, an independent biotechnology consultant with expertise in translational strategy, preclinical planning and clinical readiness.
I work with emerging biotechnology companies developing human therapeutics to define pathways to the clinic, identify key risks and opportunities, and integrate scientific, translational and regulatory considerations to support informed decision-making and successful programme progression.

How I support biotech companies developing human therapeutics
01
Development Planning & Nonclinical Strategy
Defining practical development pathways, identifying evidence gaps and helping translate promising therapeutic science into structured, development-ready programmes.
02
Preclinical Studies & External Partnerships
Working with CROs, academic collaborators and specialist providers to ensure development activities address key scientific questions and generate data that supports informed decisions.
03
Scientific & Translational Support
Integrating scientific, translational and regulatory considerations to support study design, data interpretation and progression toward clinical development.
