Our Story
Collaboration – Solutions – Delivery
Who We Are
By Shaina Barnes
In March of 2015, following the acquisition of the startup pharmaceutical company for which I worked, I found myself between a severance and three separate consulting opportunities for small Pharma companies. Intrigued by the needs of all three, I chose to pursue them all -- rather than taking one -- while continuing to look for full-time employment. I have always had passion for helping to bring novel products to market, but I realized I also wanted to build something I could call my own.
Fear is the tipping point that stops many people in their tracks when it comes to venturing out alone. Like anyone considering uncharted territory, I had concerns. But I was driven forward by the principles that guide our work today at SB Pharma Solutions: Passion, Duty, Innovation and Accountability.
SB Pharma Solutions started with Passion – I wanted to help startup pharmaceutical companies create scientific content, operationalize their medical affairs departments, and claim success on behalf of patients. At my company, we share a common mission with our clients: to fulfill the unmet needs of patients with serious medical conditions. Our Duty is to both our clients and the patients they serve. We understand that startup Pharma companies are laying it all out on the line for one product, taking the risk of driving new drug molecules through the FDA approval process – and that this means there is little margin for error in the execution of clinical trials or the proper utilization of scientific data.
As a small business, SB Pharma has the flexibility to create Innovative solutions catered specifically to our clients. We immerse ourselves in the culture of our clients, small businesses themselves, and work as one cohesive team to translate essential data into clinical outcomes. We demonstrate the Accountability of full-time employees and consider ourselves an extension of the client team.
SB Pharma Solutions has had an amazing journey since its inception and is now a lean, yet strong, team.
