Who I work with

  • Biotech startups building their first programs
  • Pharma teams advancing biologics pipelines
  • Research organizations applying computational biology
  • Investors needing scientific due diligence

Every engagement is led directly by me — no junior consultants, no handoffs. You work with an experienced scientist who has spent more than two decades in biologics discovery and development. I bring the strategy, review, and expert judgment; not wet-lab services.

Who We Are

Precision consulting for teams building the next breakthrough

BiotecMaven is a strategic biologics consultancy founded by Dr. Vibha Chauhan, a seasoned biologics scientist with more than 20 years of experience in oncology, antibody engineering, and protein design.

I help biotech startups, pharma teams, and investors make better scientific decisions — supporting therapeutic programs from early discovery through preclinical development. Increasingly, I extend that biology-first expertise with computational biology and AI, applied where they genuinely add insight rather than as a separate practice.

Deep domain expertise across antibody engineering, protein design, cell line strategy, and scientific due diligence.
Better decisions, earlier — helping teams make confident scientific and strategic decisions earlier in development.
Strategy you can act on — clear, investor-facing deliverables tailored to your development goals.

Great science needs great strategy. My work is turning complex biological decisions into a clear scientific path forward.

Founder & Principal Consultant · Biologics & Computational Biology

For more than two decades, I've helped shape therapeutic programs from the bench toward the clinic — spanning antibody engineering, protein design, and, increasingly, the computational and AI-driven methods reshaping modern drug discovery.

My work has contributed to landmark immuno-oncology therapies and included scientific leadership roles at some of the industry's most respected companies. Today I bring that experience to teams and investors as an independent scientific advisor.

How I Work

Senior expertise, engaged your way

Flexible engagements — as a strategic partner, a fractional advisor, or on a focused project — with deliverables you can put straight to work.

Engagement models

Project-based — a defined deliverable such as a program assessment, discovery or preclinical review, or diligence report.
Fractional advisor — ongoing scientific input as your programs evolve, without a full-time hire.
On-call expertise — targeted advisory sessions and technical due diligence when you need a senior read.

All work is confidential, serving clients across the U.S. and worldwide.

What you receive

Strategy Reports

Clear, actionable assessments and program roadmaps.

Investor Materials

Technical due-diligence and investor-facing narratives.

Data & Analyses

Structured analyses you can plug into planning.
