What We Do

At the intersection of biotech innovation, clinical development, market access and rare disease intelligence.

Pharma²⁸ works at the intersection of biotech innovation, clinical development, market access and rare disease intelligence.

By combining medical expertise, market intelligence, strategic partnerships and AI-enabled data infrastructure, Pharma²⁸ helps biotech companies identify where international expansion, clinical validation, real-world evidence and local access strategies can create value for patients and for innovation-driven companies.

Why Pharma²⁸ exists

The gap between scientific promise and patient access.

Promising therapies often face delays not because the science lacks potential, but because the path from innovation to patient is fragmented.

Biotech companies may need the right investigators, patient cohorts, clinical centers, regulatory pathways, data strategy, local partnerships and market-access intelligence before a therapy can move meaningfully toward patients in international markets.

How we support biotech companies

Six areas of work, coordinated as one pathway.

01

Rare Disease Opportunity Assessment

Evaluate whether Brazil or other international markets may be relevant for a specific rare disease therapy or clinical program.

02

Clinical and Medical Feasibility

Identify centers of excellence, map specialist networks and connect biotech companies with experienced medical leaders.

03

Brazil Market Entry and Activation

Understand and activate the Brazilian opportunity through clinical, regulatory, institutional, data and patient-access strategy.

04

Patient Identification and Diagnostic Intelligence

Combine medical expertise, curated evidence and AI-enabled infrastructure to find where relevant patients may be concentrated.

05

Regulatory Pathway Support

Evaluate pathways for clinical studies, early access, compassionate use, evidence generation and long-term registration.

06

Real-World Evidence and Data Generation

Explore how clinical datasets, physician insight and local experience can support development decisions.

How we work

From strategic alignment to a practical path forward.

  1. 01
    Align

    Assess the therapy, disease area, target population, clinical context, market opportunity, regulatory considerations, data landscape and local stakeholder ecosystem.

  2. 02
    Map

    Disease and market opportunity assessment, clinical expert mapping, patient cohort and diagnostic pathway analysis.

  3. 03
    Structure

    Regulatory and access pathway review, institutional and academic engagement, real-world evidence planning.

  4. 04
    Activate

    Early access or clinical collaboration strategy, local partnership development, strategic execution support.

  5. 05
    Sustain

    Build long-term pathways for adoption, evidence generation and responsible patient access.

Why Brazil

One of the world's most important and underused engines for clinical innovation.

With a single-market population of more than 200 million people, Brazil offers scale, clinical depth, experienced investigators, advanced academic hospitals, large public-health programs and patient cohorts that are often difficult to identify or access through traditional development pathways.
