Consulting
Consulting & Training
Strategic consulting, e.g. drug candidate selection, identifying novel applications for new assay technology.
Pharmacology Education
Education and training in pharmacology – see our YouTube channel for examples.
Scientific Communication
Scientific communication, including seminars, scientific publications, user guides and white papers.
Pharma, Biotech, & Life Sciences Companies
For ten years I have supported Pharma and biotech clients with R&D pharmacology, enabling projects and programs to move forward. With a wealth of experience of in vitro pharmacology in the pharmaceutical industry I can help resolve the issues that are creating challenges in your drug discovery project, in candidate selection, understanding the mechanism of action, and explaining unusual pharmacology data.
For life science companies I can identify potential customers and markets for products and CRO services. I have identified new utilities for technologies and assisted in marketing to expand the customer base. For example, working with Montana Molecular we developed new kinetic analysis platforms and built a CRO service for biosensors that enable clients to routinely quantify the duration of drug action on cells.
Pharmacology Education
I can help educate drug discovery and research teams on the fundamentals and latest advances in drug discovery. I contribute extensively to pharmacology education, on YouTube, as a member of the NIH Assay Guidance Manual team, in scientific articles and book chapters, and as an instructor with the research ecosystem DrGPCR.
I do this with an understanding of the realities and constraints of industrial and academic pharmacology, providing practical guidance on the pharmacology topics that interest you.
Scientific Communication
I assist commercial and academic organizations with scientific communication. This involves preparing and presenting explanatory videos, application notes, and content for webpages for new products and applications. I am known for presenting science in an engaging and understandable fashion, to all audiences, from the general public to dedicated specialists. This includes helping scientists with their presentations to decision makers, investors and clients.
Why Choose Pharmechanics?
Pharmechanics was founded by Dr Sam Hoare in 2017, with the goal of helping pharmacologists analyze, interpret and apply their data to accelerate drug discovery and basic research on drug targets. See testimonials here to see how I can support your science.
Sam is a globally-recognized expert on industrial, applied and theoretical pharmacology. As Lead Pharmacologist at Neurocrine Biosciences, his leadership, experience and insights were instrumental in the pharmacological optimization of three novel FDA-approved therapeutics, and several more compounds in clinical development.
