Telling stories that can change the world

Drug development has a more important place in this world than ever before, especially during the COVID pandemic. Now,  with the exciting news that several vaccines of proven efficacy may soon be released, we can start to see the light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.

There are many pieces to the enormous puzzle of developing a new drug or vaccine and bringing it successfully to market, and there must be a competent entity to put that puzzle together and tell the story, delineate the timeline, and document the results in precise, professional terms.

Watchglass Consulting is proud to play that role.  We’re the storytellers connecting clinicians and researchers with peers, regulatory agencies. and patients. Without the accurate reports and information that we collect and generate for our clients, each participant might not see the whole picture – just their part of the entire puzzle – and what they do see might not be complete. As a result, the clinical research process can bog down from inaccuracies, regulatory compliance issues, and an overall lack of communication. Patients in dire need of new treatments and therapies are the ultimate victims of such delays.

I founded Watchglass Consulting because I felt that I was especially qualified to be a pharma and medical storyteller.  I had a strong life sciences background with a degree in biology from Cornell University and a doctorate in pharmacy from the University of Washington,  so I understood the science and the processes of pharmacological research. I was also a born communicator whose first love was journalism.  Indeed,  as a young girl growing up in the New York City area, I often dreamed about someday being a writer for The New Yorker or The New York Times.  Later on, after several years of clinical practice, I discovered the field of medical writing, and I realized that I’d found my niche at last, one combining my two career passions of science and journalism.

Watchglass Consulting is essentially a one-woman operation (me), but I’m fortunate to have an outstanding principal consultant in Dr. Jon Ruckle, MD and some of our trusted colleagues.  We bring decades of experience to the table and are recognized experts in various areas of clinical development, with expert industry knowledge and familiarity. This makes for a formidable and highly qualified team.

I like that we’re a small shop because it allows us to be nimble, flexible, and able to provide a higher level of personalized service than a client might experience with a large agency.  Every client is extremely important to us and we take a personal stake in the outcome of their research and their product’s development. Our work is custom tailored to best suit the needs of our clientele, and that customization far exceeds anything found in the pre-designed packages offered by our larger competitors.

We live in perilous but also exciting times, with pharma research being one of our brightest beacon of hope. For biopharma and biotech firms everywhere, we’re ready to help you tell your story, and tell it with integrity, professionalism, and accountability. Please give us a call today and let’s talk.
