Biotech consulting today — an incubator for tomorrow's therapeutics.
Novunda Science Center is a biotech consulting practice advising biopharma companies on strategy, indication selection, capital raise readiness, and investment insight — with a long-term vision to evolve into a full biotech incubator that grows early-stage ideas into real therapeutic programs.
Novunda provides services for competitive landscaping, segment selection, financial modeling, and the diligence readiness that turns a promising asset into a fundable one. It is the work of a team that has sat on both the investment and company building side.
Our incubation vision extends that same expertise to founders and early-stage researchers — providing the mentorship, infrastructure, and network to help early science mature toward the clinic. It is the natural next step for a practice already rooted in the science of building therapeutics.
Underpinning both is our commitment to the next generation: one-on-one mentorship for students across biology, chemistry, and organic chemistry, with our Open Bench Initiative sponsoring no-cost seats for under-resourced students — funded directly by every paid session we run.
Leadership
Brenda Melano, Ph.D.
Founder
Brenda founded Novunda Science Center to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and the patients who need it most. She brings together a background in the biological sciences with hands-on experience moving therapeutics from ideation toward commercialization.
Her vision starts with a biopharma consulting practice that advises companies on strategy and capital raise readiness — and grows, over time, into a biotech incubator that helps early-stage ideas mature into real therapeutic programs. Along the way, rigorous, student-focused mentorship trains the next generation of scientists who will carry that work forward.
