Representative Project Experience – Delivering Solutions Across the Product Development Lifecycle
Multi-Country European Field Programmes
Challenge
Deliver complex European R&D, product-development and registration programmes involving 120+ field trials across multiple strategic markets, while maintaining consistent scientific objectives, protocols and data quality across countries, crops, environments and research partners.
Experience
Managed large-scale European trial programmes for biostimulant and biological crop-protection products, including technologies based on microorganisms, enzymes and signalling molecules. Programmes extended from R&D and product development through regulatory studies and involved coordinating trials across major European agricultural markets.
Responsibilities included trial strategy, protocol development, country and site selection, CRO coordination, product logistics, trial monitoring, scientific troubleshooting, data quality review and interpretation across the programme.
Value
Provided central scientific oversight across complex multi-country programmes, helping maintain consistency between trials while capturing the environmental diversity needed to understand product performance.

Microbial Crop Protection Products
Challenge
Generate reliable efficacy and registration data for microbial plant-protection products across multiple European environments.
Experience
Multi-country programme design, protocol development, CRO selection, project coordination, active monitoring, biological quality control and data interpretation.
Value
Produced reliable datasets that supported R&D decisions and regulatory submissions while helping minimise delays and repeat studies.
Biological Seed Treatment Optimisation
Challenge
Improve biological seed-treatment performance across different crops and environments.
Experience
Studies investigating formulation, application, viability and subsequent field performance.
Value
Evidence supporting product optimisation and development decisions.
Adjuvant Optimisation
Challenge
Identify adjuvant systems capable of improving agricultural product performance.
Experience
Comparative programmes investigating adjuvant technologies, application strategies and environmental interactions.
Value
Evidence supporting formulation and application optimisation.
Biological Persistence
Challenge
Understand how long biologically active products remain viable and active following application.
Experience
Development of methodologies combining field, greenhouse and laboratory assessments.
Value
Improved understanding of product behaviour, application strategy and biological performance.
Fertiliser Reduction Technologies
Challenge
Determine whether innovative technologies could maintain crop performance while reducing conventional fertiliser inputs.
Experience
Replicated field programmes comparing standard and reduced-input strategies.
Value
Independent evidence supporting sustainable crop-nutrition development.
Enzymatic Assay Development
Challenge
Develop novel analytical methods to verify biological product activity, assess viability and quantify persistence following application.
Experience
Designed, developed and validated bespoke enzymatic assays to measure biological activity and track product persistence under relevant experimental and field conditions.
Value
Provided an additional layer of biological quality control, helping distinguish genuine product performance from loss of activity and supporting more confident product-development decisions.
Environmental Bioprospecting
Challenge
Obtain naturally occurring microorganisms with potential agricultural applications.
Experience
Identification of suitable environments, biological sampling, material handling and traceability.
Value
High-quality biological material for subsequent screening and characterisation.
