About Thomas Murphy

With over 25 years of global experience in life science and drug development, I am a scientific leader and biotech executive businessman who helps companies translate their core technologies into new markets using a customer-centric approach. I leverage my scientific background in cell biology, genomics, and drug development to understand customer needs, design value propositions, and develop product lines and support structures that ensure continued success.Previously, I held senior leadership roles in several life science tool and biotech companies, where I launched and established new markets for a range of life science technologies, digital platforms, and advanced cellular/organoid models used in drug development. After taking a sabbatical (2022-23) to focus on building my family\'s real estate and agricultural business, I started a consulting business providing commercial development and go-to-market guidance for clients in the life science technologies space, backed by my 25-year professional history-Scientific Specialties: Cell and tissue biology, molecular biology, spatial analysis, genomics, target identification, drug developmentTechnologies: Microarrays, Next Gen Sequencing, single cell genomics, high content screening/analysis, RNA interference (siRNA/miRNA), CRISPR/CAS gene editing, antibody-based assays (flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, etc), spatial biology, 3D cellular models/organoids, Knime (data science/large dataset analysis)Business: Team leadership, product positioning, strategic marketing, project/product management, Pharma e-procurement, bioreagent e-commerce, forming partnerships/strategic alliances, early-stage commercialization, laboratory operations/oversight, public speaking, customer technical support pre-/post-sales.
