Who We Are
TIM BERNARD
CEO
Tim created Pivotal Scientific in 2008 in response to a gap in the market for a Company to offer advice and support for small to medium-sized companies in the research reagents sector.
Tim has over 38 years of experience in the life science market (having run and sold his own antibody company, Serotec) and has since set up three companies in that time: Pivotal Scientific Limited, Abcore Inc and 2BScientific Limited. Tim has also invested (and successfully exited) in many more, including Absolute Antibody, Everest Biotech, Nordic-MUbio and Innova Biosciences.
Tim brings market knowledge and know-how on how to make a research company successful.
