Beremans has significant expertise in the vaccines field, and in related areas such as immunotherapy, antibiotics and infection control. Assignments include competition analyses (products, technologies, and companies); qualitative and quantitative analysis of markets by product and country, including revenue projections; and identification of M&A opportunities. Some previous Beremans projects are listed here.

Example projects undertaken by Beremans personnel in oncology-related fields include the following:

• Oncology applications of novel nanotechnology platform
• Application of RNAi in cancer treatments / research
• Gene therapy for cancer
• Brachytherapy technology
• Recombinant toxin for cancer applications
• Clinical trials of cancer therapies
