Company

Diane McGuire founded PharmAcumen Consulting, Inc. to fill a gap in the virtual pharma/biotech communities. While Vice President of Technical Operations and Quality Assurance at a small pharmaceutical company, Diane struggled to find the right consultants when she needed advice on setting up supply networks, finding the right formulators, and designing the quality system for a virtual company. The controls, protocols, risk management, and regulations governing modern pharmas and biotechs are not obvious. Efficient project development requires actual experience and knowledge in the virtual space.

PharmAcumen's expert network of experienced and senior-level CMC strategists, analytical scientists, and strategists will help you navigate the complicated outsourcing of formulators, manufacturers, test labs, and CMC service providers.

The company is called PharmAcumen because our hand-picked consultant network possesses the acumen or insight and ability to make fast, accurate judgments of situations in the dynamic world of pharmaceutical manufacturing.

PharmAcumen will help you achieve successful results in global supply chain management, product compliance, staffing, project management and quality assurance.
