Leidos Health's Life Sciences team executes a diverse portfolio of medical science, biopharmaceutical, and grant/program review contracts that encompasses a spectrum of infectious diseases, cancers, and neurological disorders. Our virtual pharma approach involves production and testing of vaccines and biotherapeutics for use in human clinical trials, and utilizes a proven operating model that leverages the technical expertise of multiple Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs), Contract Research Organizations (CROs), biotech firms, and academia. Our specific expertise is in

• biopharmaceutical concept prototyping
  
• regulatory strategy
  
• product development
  
• successfully managing diverse science and technology platforms.
