Use validated pharmacology methods based on current regulatory science and industry best practices. By leveraging your compound knowledge, we can design studies that provide definitive answers about safety, efficacy, and therapeutic potential.

Regulatory Confidence

Your pharmacology data will meet the highest standards for regulatory submissions, directly supporting your drug approval process and commercial success. This comprehensive approach ensures your therapeutic candidates advance efficiently through development.

The Pharmacology Consulting Process

My drug development consulting process is designed for regulatory success and scientific rigor

Discovery Phase

We connect for a detailed discussion to understand your drug candidates, development stage, regulatory pathway, and specific pharmacology questions or data gaps.

Project Plan and Study Design

Together, we establish the project scope, including deliverables, timelines, and costs. All details are documented in a formal Service Proposal with complete transparency. We identify appropriate pharmacology studies, determine sample sizes, and establish regulatory-compliant protocols.

Data Analysis and Implementation

I execute your pharmacology studies with precision, providing clear insights and actionable results. I handle complex challenges like PK/PD modeling, drug-drug interactions, and regulatory compliance requirements.

Deliverables

I deliver comprehensive reports with publication-ready graphics, regulatory-compliant documentation, detailed methodology sections, and any other deliverables required for your development program. For urgent questions, my on-demand consultation service offers quick, cost-effective solutions.

Case Studies

I worked on large medical datasets to answer causal questions related to epidemiological determinants of disease through complex exposures. Challenges included selection bias, confounding, and missing data. I successfully developed a strategy that gave researchers confidence in their results.
I’ve worked with R&D scientists who were simultaneously running multiple experiments to answer important questions about their cutting-edge products that would have a direct impact on various stakeholders. My role was to help in designing and analyzing the experiments, balancing the conceptual purity of the Design of Experiments theory (DoE) with pragmatic concerns relating to costs and timeline. Most of this work is sealed behind a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) which prevents me from elaborating more.

Don’t Just Take My Word For It…

The positive experiences of my happy collaborators showcased through their glowing testimonials, serve as powerful proof of trustworthiness and the impact of the results I deliver. These testimonials offer real-life examples of how I’ve helped research projects succeed. Here are some of their thoughts:

Justin Belair - Causal Inference Expert

My Statistics and Causal Inference Expertise

As a university-level statistics lecturer with a substantial LinkedIn following, scientists from all over the world come to me for my unique combination of academic excellence and practical experience in statistics and causal inference.

I’ve applied causal inference methods in varied settings in both academia and industry: in biomedical sciences such as nephrology, immunology, neuroscience, virology, occupational therapy, epidemiology, dermatology, psychiatry, and oncology; in natural sciences such as agronomy, ecology, and zoology; and social sciences such as communication, and psychology. The list keeps on growing!

I am currently writing an advanced textbook that I hope will give a young generation of academic and industry researches the tools needed to grapple with the complexities of causal inference, and maybe even develop a passion for the subject!

Need help with pharmacology and drug development? From study design to regulatory submissions, I offer expertise and collaboration. Together, we can maximize the success of your therapeutic programs.
