Drug Development Is Not A Solo Mission

Independent of the development stage your compound is in, it takes a ‘Tiger Team’ to rocket it to the next step

For every submission, there are:

• A multitude of scenarios
• Project & functional budgets
• Milestones and key deliverables

which need to be carefully balanced according to the project needs.

And each submission needs experts in different functions:

• Translational sciences
• Preclinical development
• CMC
• Quality
• Regulatory
• Clinical & Clinical Operations

All professionals involved in drug development play a critical role in ensuring the drug is discovered, developed, tested, manufactured, and delivered safely and effectively.

In 2013, 2 Bridge was born

After years of working together in a multidisciplinary R&D team, the founding partners of 2 Bridge saw both the challenges and opportunities in the field. This inspired them to create a company with a cross-functional team focused on helping businesses overcome these hurdles and bring science to life.

From NASA’s Tiger Team to drug development – How 2 Bridge aims for the moon in pharma innovation

The term “Tiger Team” was popularized by NASA during the Apollo 13 mission. There, it referred to a cross-functional group of experts from different fields and backgrounds brought together to work on a specific goal or to solve a critical problem. At 2 Bridge, we aim at the moon and propel start-ups forward with our multi-disciplinary subject matter experts (SME). Guided by experienced pharma leaders, they will streamline your compound’s (pre)clinical development, whether it be a small molecule, ASO, ATMP, ADC, peptide, or protein. We strongly believe and testify that the strength of a strong, trusted team that works in a synergistic ‘Tiger Team” manner, could be of great value to other companies engaged in drug development; whether start-ups, academic centers, or even mid-to-large-sized pharmaceutical companies.

When working with a cross-functional team, like a 2 Bridge Tiger Team, you get the option to include the right functional experts at the right time.
