Helping biotech companies translate innovative therapeutics into clinical reality
I am Catherine Owczarek, an independent biotechnology consultant with more than 20 years of experience spanning therapeutic discovery, translational strategy and development planning.
I work with biotechnology companies to translate promising science into development programmes, helping teams define pathways to the clinic, identify key risks and opportunities, and make informed decisions at critical stages of programme development.
How I support biotech companies developing human therapeutics
01
Development Planning & Nonclinical Strategy
Defining practical development pathways, identifying evidence gaps and helping translate promising therapeutic science into structured, development-ready programmes.
02
Preclinical Studies & External Partnerships
Working with CROs, academic collaborators and specialist providers to ensure development activities address key scientific questions and generate data that supports informed decisions.
03
Scientific & Translational Support
Integrating scientific, translational and regulatory considerations to support study design, data interpretation and progression toward clinical development.
04
Scientific Knowledge & Information Management
Helping organisations organise scientific knowledge, data and development information to support traceability, informed decision-making, knowledge retention and long-term programme value.
ABOUT CATHERINE
Bringing translational strategy and development planning together
My career has spanned more than two decades across CSL and the biotechnology sector, helping organisations translate promising science into therapeutic development programmes.
My experience includes therapeutic discovery, translational strategy, preclinical development, development planning, laboratory informatics and external partnering. I have worked with teams ranging from early-stage biotechnology companies to global organisations, helping define development pathways, prioritise activities, manage risk and support key decision-making.
Whether developing a therapeutic programme, coordinating external studies, implementing scientific information systems or planning development activities, my focus is on helping organisations make informed decisions based on robust science, accessible knowledge and clearly defined development objectives.
I work collaboratively with clients to navigate scientific and development challenges while maintaining momentum towards clinical development.
