Strategic Scientific Advisory & Fractional Leadership
Translational strategy for biotech, investors, and innovation teams building human-relevant evidence.
NAMina Bio offers founder-led scientific advisory services for early-stage biotech companies, investors, technology developers, and translational research teams seeking rigorous evaluation of preclinical strategy, advanced model systems, and data-driven development plans.
Our advisory work is designed to help organizations assess scientific risk, strengthen translational positioning, and build more credible paths from discovery-stage biology to decision-ready evidence.
Bridging Scientific Depth and Strategic Execution
The gap between promising early-stage discovery and clinically relevant evidence is one of the most critical risk points in biotechnology.
Evaluating a new asset, platform, or translational workflow requires more than a conventional review of a pitch deck or publication package. It requires an understanding of disease biology, preclinical model limitations, human-relevant systems, data quality, regulatory direction, and commercial readiness.
Led by Dr. Paola Dama, PhD, Founder & CEO of NAMina Bio, this advisory service brings together over 15 years of international experience in molecular oncology, immunotherapy, gene therapy, 3D tumor models, organoids, New Approach Methodologies, and biotech business development.
