Life sciences talent consultancy for pharma, biotech, and medical-device companies
Hlx Life Sciences is a talent consultancy founded in 2024 with offices in Basel and London, focused on staffing shortages across pharma, biotech, TechBio, CROs, CDMOs, health tech, and medical devices. The tech stack reveals deep domain expertise: sequencing platforms (Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore), clinical-trial infrastructure (HL7, PACS, Medidata, CDISC), ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Flyte, Nextflow), and cloud compute (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes). Active projects span clinical trials (COPD, pediatric gene therapy, rare epilepsy) and cell-therapy programs, while hiring is research-heavy (8 roles) with senior and director-level positions, indicating they're building expertise to advise clients on complex asset pipelines.
Notable leadership hires: Clinical Program Director
Hlx Life Sciences addresses skilled-talent scarcity in the life sciences sector through two core service lines: InSource (dedicated FTE resources from a virtual bench for in-house resource management) and Scale (outsourced project-based hiring for growing companies). The company operates across multiple therapeutic and enabling domains—from small-molecule and gene therapy through late-stage clinical programs to regulatory and operational functions. With 11–50 employees and active hiring across research, healthcare, data, engineering, and sales roles in six countries (UK, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, US, Australia), the company is scaling its advisory capacity to support clients navigating drug discovery, clinical development, and regulatory pathways.
Core tools include sequencing platforms (Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore), clinical-trial systems (HL7, PACS, Medidata, CDISC), bioinformatics (Nextflow, Flyte), ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow), and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes).
Projects include COPD and pediatric gene therapy programs, rare pediatric epilepsy studies, engineered-cell therapy, high-throughput sequencing pipelines, Phase II–III clinical trials, and platform expansion into additional therapeutic indications.
