There are times when having an in-house partnering expert is not practical, even for something important: A deal diligence assessment may come up suddenly and require rapid turnaround. The management of a strategic alliance may not justify a full time hire. The integration of two organizations after an M&A deal may be intense but is finite in duration. A dispute may arise with a partner that is difficult to navigate.
In these cases, individuals within an organization take on this important work in addition to their full time jobs. I founded LBBAL™ Alianza to make best-in-class partnering expertise accessible in these instances to support and supplement in-house efforts, and to provide a venue for mentoring and professional development for those who wish to pursue a career in biotech and pharma partnering.
With over 20 years of professional experience, LBBAL™ Alianza provides tailored advice, assessing opportunities and risks at every stage of work, from scientific research to commercialization. Our efficient and capital-conservative approach ensures success in our clients’ projects.
Prior to launching LBBAL™ Alianza, Dr. Rosoff was a partnering executive with roles of increasing seniority at Genentech, Gilead, Kite and Exelixis. Over the course of over two decades, she had the opportunity to lead and participate in a wide diversity of deals, negotiations, diligence exercises, alliances, technology transfers, M&A integrations, dispute resolution negotiations, amendments and terminations–at all stages of the drug development and commercialization lifecycle and in multiple therapeutic areas.
Dr. Rosoff earned a doctorate in Pharmacology from the University of Washington, where she was an HHMI pre-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Randall T. Moon. She conducted her postdoctoral work at Stanford, studying Wnt signal transduction and cell adhesion under the guidance of James Nelson. Dr. Rosoff additionally gained valuable applied biotechnology experience at Ingenuity Systems (now part of Qiagen), Caliper Life Sciences and Lynx Therapeutics (now part of Illumina) in operational, program management and business development roles.
