Medical Affairs

Evidence communication and scientific exchange that earns the trust of clinical and scientific audiences.

How targeted protein degradation works — a bifunctional degrader with an E3-ligand active end, a linker, and a target-protein-ligand active end brings an E3 ligase together with a disease-causing protein, which is then degraded by the proteasome
Scientific exchange, not promotion.
The problem

The most literate, most skeptical audience.

Your audience is the most scientifically literate and the most skeptical you will face. They do not want it simplified. They want it accurate, complete, and respectful of their expertise.

Communication that talks down to a clinical audience does not just fail. It damages the relationship you depend on.

Getting it right is a discipline of its own, one we call medical affairs communicationMedical affairs communication · nounThe discipline of translating scientific and clinical evidence into materials that earn the trust of healthcare professionals, key opinion leaders, and scientific reviewers..

How we build it

We build for the expert in the room.

Fluent in the science

We know the line

We understand the line between scientific exchange and promotion, and we hold it.

Credible where it's hardest

The result earns credibility with the audiences who are hardest to earn it from.

Proof
Lyell Immunopharma EHA 2026 congress poster — updated safety analysis of rondecabtagene autoleucel, a dual-targeting CD19/CD20 CAR T-cell product candidate in large B-cell lymphoma
Cell therapy · Medical affairs · EHA 2026
The science

A dual-targeting CD19/CD20 CAR-T, tested the hard way: head-to-head against the approved standard, not a single arm. The first trial of its kind.

The challenge

CAR-T safety data is intricate and high-stakes. It had to read clearly to clinicians at a glance, in a poster hall, with the rigor an expert audience trusts and not a promotional word out of place.

The work

Editorial and figure schematics that turned a dense dataset into a clear, credible poster. The science made to land for the room at EHA 2026.
