Who We Are

Innovations in Life Sciences Shaping the Future

Greenstaff Life Sciences Division is a new brand that has emerged to support talent recruitment, team building, and global expansion for life science companies aiming to develop and launch “unprecedented medical technologies,” inheriting the legacy of the healthcare business of ICG Medical in the UK, which has been dedicated to better patient care for 18 years. Creating something new requires not only the core technology but also the acquisition of talents with new insights, experiences, and skills. Utilizing such talents has increasingly demanded diverse options, including not only regular employees but also contract workers, dispatched employees, advisors, directors, commissioned workers, and external consultants.

In the rapidly evolving field of advanced medical technology development, particularly in the domain of cellular and genetic therapies, it is projected that up to 21 cellular therapies and 31 gene therapies will be released in 2024 alone. However, there remains a significant gap in terms of building effective teams in the central research and development function, known as CMC, and obtaining regulatory approvals. Focusing on this gap, we aim to innovate cell and gene therapies internationally. As such, we have initiated services that encompass proposals for the FSP model, consulting focused on CMC and regulatory approvals, personnel introduction, and staffing.

Greenstaff Life Sciences team comprises seasoned recruitment specialists in the pharmaceutical industry alongside young, vibrant bilingual employees. With expertise in clinical development, regulatory affairs, and CMC personnel in the fields of gene therapy and cellular therapy both domestically and internationally, we cater to the evolving needs of various companies. Beyond regular employee introductions, we offer proposals for a range of personnel solutions and consultations, including RPO, FSP, contract workers, dispatched employees, advisors, directors, and commissioned workers, tailored to individual company requirements.

We are expanding our proposal of diverse personnel utilization options and tailored solutions not only in Japan but around the world. While our division has just begun, we are dedicated to contributing to the global advancement of cellular and genetic therapies. Your support is greatly appreciated.
