The Synaptic Gap
Helping bridge the gap between preclinical research and clinical development to accelerate the discovery of novel therapeutics

Pharmaceutical Consulting Services
Scientific Strategy
We specialize in crafting and executing scientific studies to build broader target product profile (TPP) and clinical development plans (CDP) that translate to clinical endpoints and advance biomarker strategies.
Our services focus on reviewing with our clients their current understanding of the mechanism of action of their compound in development, their therapeutic area of interest, and their goals for future studies, all within the wider context of the competitive marketplace.
We work with clients to incorporate clinical endpoints and biomarkers into the design of early preclinical research programs and to understand the implications of data readouts on patient selection, biomarkers, potential regulatory hurdles, and development of their company.
Scientific Communication
We specialize not only in the design of preclinical studies, but in communicating the impact of those findings to the wider scientific and business communities.
We provide high-quality graphic design and production that includes professionally designed scientific study reports, slides, posters, publication-quality data figures and graphics for journal submission.
We offer scientific and technical writing, including assisting with your overall publication planning and manuscript writing. We provide scientific meeting and journal submission support, including a discussion of desired impact based on your current data, and/or studies that are conducted in consultation with The Synaptic Gap.
Business Development
We understand that building a pharmaceutical company is not just about excellent scientific research, but also finding investors and building a business capable of bringing a drug or product to market.
We work with clients on expert advisor development, including identification and outreach, and building scientific advisory boards.
We write brochures or information packets for investors, KOLs, or prescribing physicians.
We offer in-depth therapeutic area research that includes conducting background research on your therapeutic area(s) and specialized competitor analysis, including preclinical program(s) development, and any past, current, and planned clinical trials.
We also offer specific competitor intelligence at medical meetings, upon request.
