Senior Biologics Expertise

From Scientific Question to Executed Solution.

Senior scientific leadership for biotech teams building complex biologics—from molecule and construct design through expression, externally executed experiments, troubleshooting, and the next development decision.

About BiotecMaven

Senior expertise without another full-time hire.

I work with biotech startups, pharma teams, research organizations, and investors that need experienced scientific leadership without building every capability internally.

Every engagement is 1:1 with me. I bring senior scientific judgment to the question, evidence, execution strategy and next decision.

Biology-first judgment grounded in two decades of biologics work.
Clear recommendations tied to the decision your team needs to make.
Specialist expertise brought in when a question extends beyond my scope.
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

Engage BiotecMaven for as much of the scientific workstream as you need — from a focused expert opinion to a defined project or managed external execution.

Start With the Scientific Problem

What problem are you trying to solve?

You don’t need to know which consulting service you need. Start with the scientific problem.

01

Build & Advance a Biologic

From molecule design to outsourced experimental execution.

Have a target or biologic concept but need experienced hands to turn it into something you can actually test?

BiotecMaven can lead the scientific work from molecule, sequence and construct design through expression and developability strategy, then identify and manage the appropriate external partner for experimental execution. I stay scientifically involved through data review, troubleshooting and the next decision — while your team stays involved at the level that makes sense for the project.

  • Molecule, format, sequence & construct design
  • Antibodies, bispecifics, T-cell engagers & complex proteins
  • Expression, CHO, CLD & developability strategy
  • Experimental execution through qualified CRO/CDMO partners
  • Scientific oversight, data review & troubleshooting

You don't have to find and scientifically manage the CRO yourself.

In silico assessment → construct choices → experimental test → results → redesign / advance decision

02

Make a Better Program Decision

When you have data and options — but the decision still isn't obvious.

Not sure whether a target is worth pursuing? Whether your molecule is differentiated? Whether a competitor changes the value of your program? Or whether the next experiment is worth the time and money?

I can independently interrogate the science, competitive landscape and technical risks — then help you decide what to build, advance, change, partner or stop.

Rapid evidence synthesis across publications, patents, clinical programs and competitive landscapes — followed by senior scientific interpretation.

  • Target & therapeutic hypothesis assessment
  • Competitive intelligence & landscape analysis
  • Scientific and technical due diligence
  • Candidate, modality & program evaluation
  • Discovery and preclinical strategy
  • Clear recommendation tied to the decision you need to make

03

Understand the Biology & Data

When the data is there — but the biological answer isn't.

Have transcriptomic, public or multi-study data but aren't sure what it actually says about your biology, mechanism, patient population or therapeutic hypothesis?

I can combine biological reasoning, computational analysis and evidence across datasets to answer a defined scientific question — with the analysis driven by the biology, not by the tool.

  • Transcriptomics & gene-expression analysis
  • Cross-study and multi-cohort evidence synthesis
  • Disease-state & treatment-response analysis
  • Systems-level biological interpretation
  • Computational and AI-assisted scientific analysis
  • Results translated into a biological conclusion and next decision
Let's Interrogate the Biology
AI-Enabled. Biology-Led.

Modern tools. Experienced judgment.

AI and computational approaches can accelerate analysis, evidence synthesis and design. Biological judgment determines what gets trusted, tested and advanced.

AI accelerates the analysis.CROs execute the experiments.Experience connects the two.
How It Works

From question to decision.

When experimental work is needed, BiotecMaven can define the scientific question, design the work, identify and coordinate appropriate external CRO/CDMO capabilities, review the results, troubleshoot problems and guide the next decision — without requiring your team to manage every step.

QuestionScientific judgment→EvidenceAI + computational analysis→DesignScientific judgment→ExperimentCRO/CDMO execution→DataAnalysis + interpretation→DecisionScientific judgment
1

Frame the question

Clarify the scientific decision, constraints and evidence required.

2

Design the work

Set the experimental or analytical plan and success criteria.

3

Select & manage the right partner

Identify appropriate CRO/CDMO capabilities, define the scientific scope, coordinate execution and manage the technical interface.

4

Review, troubleshoot, decide

Interpret results and turn them into the next good program decision.

Dr. Vibha Chauhan

Founder & Principal Consultant

For more than two decades, I have helped shape therapeutic programs from the bench toward the clinic—spanning protein and antibody engineering, bispecifics and T-cell engagers, mammalian expression, developability, and preclinical strategy. My career spans Sanofi, Bristol Myers Squibb, Amunix, Genitope, and KaloBios, with contributions to Yervoy and Opdivo. Earlier, I conducted postdoctoral oncology research at Stanford University.

How I Work

Engagements shaped around the decision.

Focused when you need a senior read. More involved when the scientific workstream needs continuity.

Focused Scientific Review

A senior assessment of a defined question, dataset, target, candidate or technical problem.

Defined Project

A bounded scientific engagement with a defined objective — from molecule or program strategy to analysis, diligence or experimental planning.

Managed Scientific Execution

BiotecMaven leads the agreed scientific workstream from experimental design through qualified external CRO/CDMO execution, data review, troubleshooting and next-step recommendations — with your team involved at the decision points that make sense for the engagement.

Fractional Scientific Leadership

Ongoing senior scientific involvement for teams that need continuity without adding another full-time hire.

LET'S TALK

What are you trying to solve?

Tell me what you're working through. I'll tell you whether I can help — and if I can't, I'll tell you that too.

A difficult molecule.An expression problem.A target you're not sure about.A CRO project that needs experienced oversight.A dataset without a clear answer.
