- Accelerating GPCR Drug Discovery
Why I Started GPCR Consulting You've got great data. You've got brilliant scientists. But your GPCR program still isn't moving at the pace it should. I've seen this pattern unfold across biotech, academia, and nonprofits. The assays are running, data is flowing in from your CROs or your internal labs , yet progress stalls. Decisions are slow, crucial data is siloed, and despite everyone working hard, programs drift. For over two decades, my work has centered on GPCR pharmacology . In every role and sector, I found myself drawn to the same critical challenges: missed opportunities, misaligned systems, and promising programs stalling despite strong science. I was always the one identifying what could be improved: The essential structure that was missing. The clarity that was desperately lacking. The unnecessary friction that slowed everything down. Traditional roles rarely gave me the freedom to implement these changes at the scale needed. So, I created a new path—one that allows me to embed, optimize, and accelerate GPCR programs from the inside out. The GPCR Data Dilemma: The Lego Bucket Problem I've seen promising GPCR programs generate massive volumes of high-quality data. But without structure, it's just a messy pile of colored blocks. I call this the Lego Bucket Problem . You have the data, but not the definitive direction. This disconnect frequently leads to: Underperforming assays. Internal data and CRO outputs misaligned with strategic goals. Delays in critical go/no-go decisions. Frustrated teams and slipping timelines. It's not just a scientific issue—it's an operational one. You can't move fast without clarity, and you can't make confident decisions without robust structure. My Approach: Biology, Execution, Systems My consulting approach uniquely blends deep pharmacology expertise with the operational discipline required to make that expertise actionable. Here's how I bring a fresh perspective: Biology-First, Data-Driven Strategy: I help you focus on the science that truly matters. We cut through the noise, elevate what's working, and strategically solve what's not, ensuring your GPCR program stays on target. Embedded Execution: I work alongside your team—not above it. I'll help write CRO scopes, meticulously review assay data, flag risks early, and keep your programs relentlessly on track. Systems That Drive Progress: From assay tracking to data workflows, I design simple, scalable tools that surface insights early and dramatically reduce delays, transforming your data into actionable intelligence. A Broader Lens: Dr. GPCR As the co-founder of Dr. GPCR, we've built a global hub connecting over 1,300 GPCR scientists dedicated to this field. These ongoing conversations keep me on the front lines, sharpening my understanding of the common bottlenecks and evolving needs across the entire GPCR community. My Consulting Philosophy This practice is built on three core values: Scientific Integrity: Every recommendation is grounded in real-world evidence and extensive experience. Operational Discipline: Robust systems and clear structure aren't "nice to have"—they are absolutely essential for efficient progress. Collaborative Partnership: I embed, contribute, and build solutions hand-in-hand with your team. Ready to Move Your GPCR Program Forward? If you're navigating a stuck GPCR program, planning your next crucial milestone, or struggling to gain clarity from complex data, I'd love to help. 📌 Learn more about my services: Yamina.org 📅 Book a 30-minute strategy call: https://calendly.com/drgpcr/yamina-corner
