Located in Boston, Toronto and Frankfurt, with global reach and network, Back Bay has surpassed ten years and more than 700 life science projects together.

WE WORK AROUND THE GLOBE WITH COMPANIES OF ALL SIZES

Back Bay partners with life science innovators ranging from global brands to nascent startups, academic centers of technology transfer to government bodies. We help to advance biopharma and MedTech development on an international level.

Founded in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood in 2010 by an investment banker/consultant with a long academic medical background, and a life science consultant, Back Bay Life Science Advisors quickly established trusted relationships that helped to shape Boston’s life science ecosystem. Soon after, Back Bay’s reach extended to Europe.

Our teams are comprised of scientific researchers, biotech executives, physicians, surgeons, bankers and data researchers who excel at partnership and in guiding global life sciences companies and their investors through complex decisions.

Individually, our offerings stand alone. Back Bay’s strategic analytics have supported work by leading global banks and corporate entities. Together, our integrated services offer unmatched expertise and seamless integration.

WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN BEING INDUSTRY LEADERS

Senior-level involvement: From concept through delivery and ongoing follow up, our seasoned senior leaders guide every project.

Diverse engagement team: Our integrated strategy and investment teams bring deep scientific expertise, clinical knowledge and M&A experience to every project, offering a practical understanding of our shared industry.

Network to industry leaders: We regularly work with clinicians, opinion leaders, investors, C-suite investors, payors and regulatory experts — across industry and academia — and these long-standing associations have provided unique insight on many projects.

Back Bay is built on an appreciation of unique perspectives, a passion for creative approaches, and the ability to listen.

In both our professional and personal lives, Back Bay is committed to diversity and inclusion across religion, gender, age, race, and identity. This is not just something we say, but something we value and work to nurture. Yet, recent events have compelled us to pause and reflect on the progress we’ve made to build a diverse and equitable organization. We are now asking ourselves that most important question: Are we are doing everything we can to ensure that diversity and inclusion are first in our thoughts and in our actions?

We know that real actions are needed to promote and encourage diversity within our company and outside our office walls. We pledge to continue this work until this conversation is no longer necessary.

Specifically, this means that:

Within our walls . . .

• We encourage individual expression, embrace people’s differing backgrounds, and acknowledge all that contributes to our work and our personal lives.
• We regularly reflect on our own culture, hiring practices, mentoring opportunities, and internship programs to ensure we are fully inclusive, and we consider the breadth and beauty of the human community.
• We further our commitment to provide equal access to opportunities within Back Bay.

Within our community . . .

• We take tangible steps to support our community through volunteer hours at organizations like Rosie’s Place, Community Servings, and others.
• We partner with groups that actively work to dismantle racism and increase access and opportunity. One such group is SquashBusters, a youth development organization whose primary focus is on curing racism. They provide educational, leadership, and character-building opportunities through mentorship and the game of squash, helping to pave a pathway to college for children from Boston, Providence, and Lawrence.

We appreciate SquashBuster’s mission to continue “learning from each other’s lifestyle, culture, ethnicity, challenges, and successes.” We hope to both support and foster this philosophy at Back Bay through ongoing collaboration to increase diversity in our mentoring of young students to ultimately help diversify our workforce and our industry’s leadership.

We promise to always strive to do the hard work of self-examination, better listening, and positive action to promote diversity, inclusion, and well-being in our community and beyond.
