Alava was formed to provide technical, strategic and management support for the development, manufacturing and testing of biopharmaceuticals and small molecules. Our approach is customized to each client’s needs, from traditional consulting, to interim or supplemental management, to taking full responsibility for designated CMC activities including preparation and maintenance of associated regulatory documents.

Alava’s versatile team members have each worked for over 15 years in product development companies as well as consulting. Every project is unique, and Alava has the experience to understand and achieve the best quality, speed and value for your product. Each Alava consultant has managed vendor selection and management of outsourced development, testing and manufacturing. We can plan and execute projects, work with investors and boards, and produce the high quality CMC-regulatory submissions that are critical for success.
