Concept Life Sciences Welcomes Pam Dossang as Director of Protein and Structural Sciences

Pam Dossang brings a wealth of experience to Concept Life Sciences and will lead the expansion of our protein production, biophysics and structural biology capabilities.

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients can look forward to benefitting from a truly integrated service with a focus on provision of high-quality protein reagents to enable structurally based drug discovery. With structural enablement providing a visual tool  for hit expansion, our client’s projects will pragmatically evolve faster serving to reduce turnaround times.

Supported by an experienced and established team at Concept Life Sciences’ biology services facility in Edinburgh, UK, Pam is clear about the benefits her team can bring to clients:

“I’m delighted to join such an accomplished team in providing this solution for clients at the start of their project journey.

By tailoring the design of a single protein construct to meet our clients’ needs, provision of one batch of active protein reagent becomes fit-for-purpose over a host of downstream requirements.

Solving protein structures and providing clients with a visual representation of their molecule docked in the target of interest drives rounds of chemistry hit expansion, generating leads and ultimately progressing candidates to clinic.  It’s also exciting to see such a comprehensive suite of biophysical technologies for provision of associated target engagement kinetic data, which compliments the structural biology component of a project. ”

Pam brings over 25 years' extensive experience in industrial drug discovery and has spent the last five years at Charles River as a senior leader of the Structural Biology, Biophysics and Protein Science department.

Earlier in Pam’s career, roles at GSK provided the foundation for her interest in, and subsequent focus on, Protein Science, further cemented by her time at the structure-based drug discovery company Vernalis.

Hayley Gooding, Concept Life Sciences' Biology Services Director, commented:

"I’m thrilled that Pam joins us at a such an exciting time of growth for Concept Life Sciences. Protein Science, Biophysics and Structural Biology are fundamental to our enhanced integrated drug discovery service offer, reducing costly delays and truly progressing client assets from concept to clinic.”  

Protein and Structural Sciences is a critical component of the comprehensive services Concept Life Sciences offers across biology, discovery chemistry, ADMET/DMPK and GMP manufacture. Whether clients have a standalone or fully integrated drug discovery project, we are the trusted partner for complex challenges.
