(LSC, www.lifescience-consulting.com) is a Swiss company based in Geneva and Paris focusing on the integration of financial and scientific data to provide sophisticated computer models and cutting edge industry knowledge. The Company markets the Lifescience-Portal™, a fully integrated information infrastructure platform improving the complex valuation of pharma/biotech companies and projects. Additionally, the Lifescience-Business Intelligence Services™ are shaped to match specifically customers' demands for market analysis, due diligence and projects' valuations.

With offices in Paris and Geneva, LSC brings its professional network into play in order to evaluate and respond to markets critical needs (IP, Manufacturing/Production, Biotech, MedTech, Fine chemical, Cosmetics, and Financial services).

The LifeScience PortalTM is probably the most advanced and modulable “biofinance” platform ever conceived. Its strength resides in the integration of multiple intelligence sources (fundamentals, scientific results), its interactivity, the collaborative work and the robust simulations (Decision Trees, Visual Ranking ToolTM) aiming at facilitating strategic decisions using a sound balance between financial and scientific criteria. In particular, the Visual Ranking ToolTM has been specifically developed to overcome the weakness of traditional analytical methods which are not able to simultaneously take into account multiple and diversified parameters to make drugs forecasts and represent competition. In contrast, the Visual Ranking ToolTM was designed to consider numerous drugs parameters concomitantly (costs, probabilities, indications, action mechanisms, patent expiry,etc). The result is a 2-dimensional map illustrating a competitive environment for drugs where all their characteristics (scientific, financial, legal, etc.) are taken into account.

Today, business development officers, purchasing managers, venture capitalists, portfolio managers as well as financial analysts regularly use the Lifescience-PortalTM for their corporate intelligence projects. They rely on it to gain insights into company fundamentals and to respond with educated agility to market news.
