Preclinical and Toxicology Consulting

Preclinical and Toxicology Consultant

Andrew Makin Preclinical Consulting ApS offers preclinical and toxicology advisory and consultancy services to any company developing pharmaceuticals, medical devices and other products in the stages prior to clinical trials or marketing. 

I am a preclinical toxicology consultant, using experience gained through nearly 40 years working for Contract Research Organisations (CROs), during which time I have acquired a comprehensive knowledge of programme and study design, performance, interpretation and reporting, I have a fundamental understanding of the needs of drug and other product development, and practical experience of putting knowledge into practice. 

The needs of any development programme are often unique to the product, be it a drug, medical device, foodstuff or other chemical, and there is often not a one-size-fits-all solution.  I have been involved in a huge number of projects where I and my clients have negotiated the complex range of available regulatory guidance in order to arrive at workable and successful solutions.  And, in particular, one of my great strengths is my long hands-on experience with, and therefore fundamental understanding of, the practical aspects of non-clinical study design.

Throughout my long career to date, I have been based both in the UK and in Denmark.  My clients have been companies based in all the major regions of the world, and I currently work internationally from my base here in Denmark.  My business knows no borders!

I also know that the needs of my customers are varied – ranging from assistance with specific studies through to involvement in entire programmes.  As they say – no job is too big or too small.  Having said that, for large and complex projects it makes most sense to involve other partners, and I have access to a comprehensive network of consultancy groups and solution providers in order to achieve your objectives in the most efficient way. In any event, if you have a question or a project that you need help with, it never hurts to ask!

Whatever your project and wherever you are, if you need a preclinical toxicology consultant please contact me and we can together find solutions that are best for you.

And while you are here on the site, check out my posts page, where I will be sharing my thoughts concerning the drug development universe. New posts will be appearing regularly – if you don’t find what you want, then come back later, maybe it will pop up at some time. Otherwise, feel free to use the comments to make suggestions for topics that could be covered.
