Applied Biopharm Consulting Ltd has announced the launch of its new premises at the West Cork Business and Technology Park in Clonakilty, marking an important milestone in its business growth. The expansion highlights the firm’s continued commitment to serving the global biologics and gene therapy sectors.
Founded by Dr Anthony Newcombe—an industry veteran with experience at GSK and Pfizer—the company provides consultancy services spanning GMP auditing, MSAT, regulatory CMC strategy, tech transfer, and quality assurance. Applied Biopharm Consulting is known for its close collaboration with developers of advanced biologic and gene therapy treatments.
Over the past two years, Applied Biopharm has rapidly expanded its client base, forging partnerships with leading firms across the EU, US, and Asia-Pacific. The company’s ability to provide tailored, science-driven support has been a key driver of its growing reputation as a trusted advisor in the life sciences sector.
In 2024, the company secured a feasibility study grant from the Local Enterprise Office Cork North & West. This funding enabled Applied Biopharm to evaluate the commercial and technical viability of a cutting-edge capsid-engineering technology designed to enhance gene therapy delivery. The research leveraged AI-based protein modelling, highlighting the company’s ongoing focus on integrating digital tools with biologic innovation.
“This step reflects our continued growth and commitment to working with biotech innovators worldwide,” said Dr Newcombe. “Having a presence at the West Cork Business and Technology Park also puts us in a strong position to scale our activities in consulting, gene therapy, and bioprocess development. We’re excited to expand our footprint while staying close to the scientific and entrepreneurial ecosystem in Cork.”
The West Cork Business and Technology Park is a premier destination for tech-driven and service-oriented businesses, offering excellent infrastructure, reliable connectivity, and proximity to major transport links. The park currently hosts over 1,000 professionals and supports a collaborative environment ideal for companies with global reach.
As Applied Biopharm enters this new chapter, the company plans to deepen its investment in innovation, talent development, and strategic collaborations. Its new base in Clonakilty not only enhances operational capabilities but also reinforces the firm’s long-term vision of becoming a leading consulting partner in the global biotechnology industry.
