Scientific Advisory

About Scientific Advisory

Accelerate growth and credibility with structured, expert guidance. The coLABorative provides Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) services designed for reproductive health businesses that need expert input, product evaluation pathways, and a stronger network within the industry.

This service can help you establish or strengthen advisory participation, define review processes, and connect with experienced voices who can evaluate products, messaging, and practical adoption barriers. For organizations launching new offerings, the SAB structure can support more informed product decisions, clearer positioning, and stronger trust with laboratories that expect evidence, transparency, and real-world feedback.

What this can cover

  • Advisory board planning and structure
  • Expert input for product or service evaluation
  • Program frameworks for feedback and adoption
  • Network access to future collaborators and clients
  • Let us serve as a scientific advisor on your board as a team.

The CoLABorative management team includes Dara Berger, PhD, MPH, MS; Charlene Alouf, PhD, HCLD, TS; Gerry Celia, MBA, PhD, HCLD, CC; and Liesl Nel-Themaat, PhD, HCLD, MBA.
