GENERAL QUESTIONS

Pointer Bio is a biotech fractional support company that provides end-to-end project design, on-site expertise, CRO oversight and Venture capital (VC) advisement. We act as an extension of your team, helping biotech programs move forward efficiently, with scientific rigor and regulatory compliance.
Our clients include small to mid-sized biotech companies, academic labs, and other research teams. We work with organizations that need specialized scientific expertise, project management support, or hands-on guidance to accelerate their programs.
Unlike traditional consultants, we combine scientific depth, operational execution, and technical integration. With experts from all avenues of biotech, we collaborate from within Pointer Bio and your team, to support your full scope, not just one part.

We begin by understanding your scientific objectives, then perform literature research, experimental planning, protocol development, and SOP creation. We manage the project from concept to execution, integrating the right experts across in vitro, in vivo, analytical, and regulatory domains.
Through structured virtual sessions, we immerse ourselves in your technology and workflow to support like an internal scientific partner. Communication is ongoing, transparent, and aligned with your milestones.
Yes. Our experts guide study design, QC/QA alignment, and data interpretation to ensure your programs meet regulatory expectations and are scientifically robust.

For start ups, on-site fractional support provides the research capabilities of a full time employee, without the need to add them on your payroll or benefit plan. For small to medium sized biotechs, on-site services are ideal when your team needs hands-on guidance for complex experiments, accelerated timelines, workflow optimization, or skill development that cannot be fully accomplished remotely.
Our team can run experiments directly in your lab, provide targeted training, optimize workflows, mentor staff, and assist with technical transfer or SOP implementation.
Engagements are flexible and range from single-day interventions to multi-week projects, depending on the complexity of the work and your program needs.

We manage CRO selection, define study requirements, monitor execution, review data quality, and ensure regulatory compliance. Our team acts as an extension of your organization to keep outsourced programs aligned with your goals.
