At Forward Biotechnologies, we are dedicated to helping customers develop industry-leading products that make healthcare smarter and more efficient. Our focus is on enhancing patient outcomes by empowering professionals with the tools they need to drive positive change.

We are especially interested in helping startups in developing their own technologies through a wide range of product concept consultation, early-stage feasibility prototyping, and validation work. We also facilitate access to select laboratory and fabrication equipment in-house that you can use to reduce the massive expense of buying these items when you are still early in your own endeavor. We want to help you succeed!

Who We Are

Victor Piazza, Ph.D

With an academic background in cardiovascular physiology and ten years' experience in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors, much within startups, I have seen and experienced first-hand the struggles inherent in trying to drive projects forward on minimal budgets and with tight deadlines. This is a particular struggle for research-driven startups that require significant investments in capital equipment on the front end. Getting through the so-called "valley of death" phase quickly can make or break an otherwise great idea. That is why we started Forward Biotechnologies, to provide design consultation and prototyping services, affordable calibration and testing, and resources to give new ventures a better chance at proofing out their prototypes so they can more quickly gain traction.
