Rufus 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.
