Biointelect helps its clients develop and drive strategy, identify and evaluate new business opportunities and engage the right partners. The strategy consulting involves therapeutic development from start up through to post launch, with an Australian and a Global perspective.
Biointelect’s mission is to bring science to market.
Biocelect works with local and overseas partners to bring critical pharmaceutical products and medical technology solutions to the Australian market.
In addition to our travel range, infectious disease portfolio and novel medical diagnostics, Biocelect is the sponsor of the Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, NVX-CoV2373 for Australia and New Zealand.
Biocelect’s mission is to build pathways to patients.
In this Australian Health Journal interview, Jenny and Karl talk about the journey the husband and wife team took to get the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine (Nuvaxovid) approved and distributed in Australia. The journey didn’t just include talented and diverse skilled staff but also their children working in both organisations.

Making clinical trials participant friendly
Clinical trials are essential in developing new, improved, and more effective treatments and interventions. Without trials, researchers and professionals in the field cannot properly determine whether these new treatments and interventions are safe and effective.
The Clinials platform is geared towards patient centric trials and reducing site burden. The aim is to accelerate lifesaving medicines coming to market by connecting participants and researchers. The platform allows participants to come to researchers with their eligibility in hand among other capabilities.
