I am happy to consider any consulting opportunities that you or your organization may have available!
With my training in the clinical, laboratory, and public health sciences, I offer a unique and holistic perspective and skill set that traverses the pharmaceutical global value chain.
I am at ease interacting with experts and consulting literature and datasets across disciplines, whether it involves identifying the potential value of small molecules or biologics, developing strategies and proposing partnerships to reduce mark-ups, or implementing solutions and monitoring results.
If you have a problem that you think could better address with someone with my expertise, please shoot me a message at alex.cy.kong@gmail.com.
