Scientific's Clients.
Rufus Scientific
provides understanding of the real opportunities in life science innovation
for academic, commercial and governmental clients. We have the vision
to see beyond the fads and fashions of today to the science of tomorrow,
and the practical understanding of what can be done with that science,
and how it can be financed. These include
Our clients
have included:
- Companies
seeking stratergic investment in new areas of life science. Rufus has
provided both a broad understanding of where new technology fits, and
specific analysis of market opportunities and the strengths that can
result from our client moving into new areas
- UK University
technology transfer offices who want to understand the real value of
a life science discovery or invention, or the value to be gained from
bringing technologies from outside the life sciences into 'biotechnology',
pharmaceuticals, or other life-science based industries. Rufus has provided
both a strategic understanding of the opportunity and practical business
planning to take the first steps towards its realization.
- Investment
groups who need to analyse the reality of new, science-rich investment
opportunities. Rufus provides both an overview of radical new areas
of science such as stem cell technologies, 'systems biology' and new
genomics technologies, and formal 'due diligence' on investment opportunities.
- Individual
academic and commercial innovators. Rufus has worked with individuals
with great science in both academia and outside it to formulate what
the science could do in a commercial context. This often involves Rufus
in developing significant intellectual property itself, to take the
technical ideas forward in an aqpplied direction.
Rufus also
provides substantial development support and interim management for a
small number of start-up companies - see the 'Companies' button above.
