Zelora Hand Eczema: Licensing a once-daily pill for chronic hand eczema
Trinity's own practice case counts eligible patients for a drug, calculates peak revenue and asks for a recommendation; this one follows that order with a different disease and numbers of our own. The full version is MedSuite Technologies, our library healthcare pricing case; it is not a drug launch case. Trinity Life Sciences (opens in a new tab), read
1Step 1: Read the case
Brightvale Pharma sells dermatology products to dermatologists in the US. It can in-license Zelora, a once-daily tablet for adults with chronic hand eczema, now in its last clinical trials. The CEO wants a go or no-go and the number it rests on. How would you size the opportunity?
2Step 2: Ask clarifying questions
Open a question to hear the interviewer's answer.
What stage is Zelora at, and where would it be sold?
Interviewer: Late-stage trials, with approval expected. Treat approval as given for this exercise and size the US only.
Who prescribes it, and what does the client have today?
Interviewer: Dermatologists prescribe it. Brightvale already has a sales force calling on them and nothing in primary care.
What patient data can you share for the funnel?
Interviewer: US adults: 250 million. Chronic hand eczema: 4% of them. Moderate to severe: 25% of those. Those who see a doctor for it: 40%. Of those, 60% use a prescription treatment, and 25% of them are not controlled on prescription creams. Zelora is for that last group.
What would Zelora take from today's treatments?
Interviewer: Creams are the standard and they work for many. Zelora would be the first tablet for these patients, so the share it can reach is a judgment call for you to state.
What does the CEO need in the end?
Interviewer: A recommendation to in-license or pass, with the peak revenue behind it and the biggest risk.
3Step 3: Structure your answer
Take two minutes. Lay out how you would size the eligible patients and the revenue, then say what else you would weigh before you recommend a go or a no-go.
2:00
Show what a strong structure covers
Plays the ask back: a go or no-go on licensing, resting on peak revenue in the US for adults who are not controlled today.
Builds the patient funnel in a clear chain: population, those with the disease, those who are moderate to severe, those who seek care, those on prescription, those not controlled.
Turns patients into revenue: eligible patients times peak share times net price per patient per year, with the year it peaks stated.
Looks at the market around the number: what treats these patients today, how Zelora differs (a tablet rather than a cream) and what could erode its share.
Weighs the client's side: the cost to license, the sales force it already has in dermatology and the investment still needed to launch.
Names the risks to test first: trial results, share, price and payer access, and how fast uptake ramps.
4Step 4: The interviewer's next question
Your funnel gives 150 thousand eligible adults. Assume Zelora reaches 20% of them at peak, at a net price of 8,000 dollars per patient per year. What is peak annual revenue?
Show what a strong answer does
150,000 × 20% = 30,000 patients, and × 8,000 dollars = 240 million dollars a year at peak. A strong answer says both numbers out loud, notes that peak is not the launch year and that share and price move the result most, then asks what the licence would cost before it recommends.
Flour costs rose 18% on a $4M flour bill, and prices went up 3% on $20M of sales. How much margin did Harbor lose?
Your answer
Flour went up by about $720K and the price rise brings in $600K, so the net hit is roughly $100K.
What worked
Split the change into a cost side and a price side before adding them up.
Could improve
$720K minus $600K is $120K, not $100K: state the exact net before rounding.
Model answer
Flour: 18% of $4M is $720K more cost. Price: 3% of $20M is $600K more revenue. Net margin loss: $120K.
Next time, say this
Cost is up $720K and price brings back $600K, so Harbor loses $120K of margin.

Trinity's practice case and interview pages, item by item
Everything Trinity publishes to prepare for its interviews, each opened on 11 November 2026. The first six items are the questions of its practice case; each line is our summary of the item's own page, never Trinity's answer. Read on Trinity Life Sciences' site .
Trinity's practice case and interview pages, item by item: level, area and what each one is, linked to Trinity Life Sciences' page
Approximate the US patients eligible for Product A, a topical drug for underarm hyperhidrosis, from the disease background the page gives (prevalence, diagnosis, treatment and the axillary share).
What Trinity does, four traits it looks for (passion, people skills, innovative spirit, high character), the link to the practice case and the open roles on Workday.
Most interviews are 45 minutes with case and behavioral parts, plus advice from two associate consultants and the application FAQ (a virtual interview and a Superday).
A three-day externship simulating a life sciences strategy project, with a video interview and one case and behavioral interview, US only; the 2026 round closed in March.
A nine-week summer internship, the Associate Consultant and Consultant roles and a two-year rotational program through Trinity's advisory teams.
Worked: Trinity's practice case: hyperhidrosis and wet AMD, in Trinity's six questions, in its order
A mid-size pharma company known for pediatric medicines wants to enter dermatology or ophthalmology and can acquire one of two late-stage assets: a topical treatment for underarm hyperhidrosis or a biosimilar for wet AMD. You count the eligible patients for each, compare peak revenue and recommend one. Read the official case (opens in a new tab)(read )
How you might work it is ours, not Trinity Life Sciences' answer key.
1
Question 1: size the first market
Start from the disease facts the page gives and multiply down one line at a time: everyone with the condition, the diagnosed share, the treated share, then the share of the form Product A is indicated for. Say each assumption out loud and round at the end.
2
Question 2: size the second market
Run the same chain for the other disease, but notice the base is different: the page says the disease affects people over 50, so you need your own assumption for how many Americans that is. State it as an assumption and keep the steps parallel so the two numbers compare.
3
Question 3: name the decision factors
Group before you list: the patients and the market, the product against today's treatment, the economics, and the fit with the client. Say which two factors you would test first and why.
4
Question 4: peak revenue
For each product multiply addressable patients by peak share by yearly price, one product at a time, and write both results. Then read the launch timing in the table: peak revenue is not what the client earns in year one.
5
Question 5: argue for Product A
Make the best case for A using only what the case gives you: what the client already does, who the patients are, how soon it launches. Add the next step you would take to test the argument.
6
Question 6: argue for Product B
Make the best case for B the same way: the severity of the disease, who treats it and how concentrated that group is, and what the client would have to build. Then close with a recommendation of your own and the one fact that would change it.

The Trinity Life Sciences interview process, and what trains each step
1
Apply through Workday or your campus system
Trinity says to apply through your university's e-recruiting system, or through its website if it does not recruit at your school, and its careers page routes open roles through its Workday portal. It recruits on campus year-round, mostly in fall and spring.
For its three-day Transition to Trinity externship (MD, PhD, PharmD and postdoc candidates), Trinity's 2026 page says the first round is a self-recorded video interview reviewed by its Talent Acquisition team. Trinity's pages name no video or online test for other roles, so follow your invitation.
Trinity says most interviews run 45 minutes over Microsoft Teams or on campus and include both behavioral and case components, with members of its consulting staff. Its application FAQ says the process typically lasts a few weeks.
Trinity's application FAQ describes a series of behavioral and critical thinking or case interviews that ends with a Superday at Trinity's offices. It does not say how many interviews the Superday holds or how they are scored.
Trinity's one published case counts eligible patients for two drugs, calculates each one's peak revenue and asks which to pursue and why. Candidates report cases built on specific pharma or biotech settings with a lot of mental math.
Missing from Trinity Life Sciences' pages: how many interviews each round holds, who leads the case, how answers are scored, whether there is an online test for full-time roles, how the process differs outside the US, and when offers are made.
10 Trinity Life Sciences-style interview questions
In our words, not Trinity's, grouped by the parts of Trinity's own practice case and its behavioral interview, with what a strong answer does.
Patient sizing (practice case, questions 1 and 2)
Trinity's case counts eligible US patients for each drug from disease background facts.
1A company has a once-weekly injection for moderate to severe psoriasis in adults. How many US adults are eligible?
What a strong answer does: Builds a single funnel (adults, those with the disease, the moderate to severe share, those diagnosed, those treated with a drug in the right line of therapy), says each assumption out loud and rounds at the end.
2You sized one disease from the whole population and need to size another that affects people over 50. What changes in your approach?
What a strong answer does: Changes the base population, not the method: states an assumption for how many Americans are over 50, keeps the later steps parallel and says why the two estimates are comparable.
3Your estimate of treated patients is three times a figure the interviewer quotes. What do you do?
What a strong answer does: Asks where the figure comes from, finds the step in the funnel most likely to be wrong (usually the diagnosed or treated share), changes that input, recomputes out loud and says what it does to the decision.
Trinity gives a table of addressable population, peak share, yearly price and launch timing.
4Drug X reaches 10% of 1.2 million patients at 1,700 dollars a year; drug Y reaches 20% of 150 thousand at 10 thousand dollars. Which earns more at peak, and by how much?
What a strong answer does: Multiplies each in one line (about 204 million dollars against 300 million), says the difference out loud and adds that the smaller population wins here because of share and price.
5Drug Y launches two years after the deal and drug X one year after. How does that change your comparison?
What a strong answer does: Separates peak revenue from time to revenue: names that X earns sooner, says peak is reached years later for both and that an earlier start helps its value even when its peak is lower.
Trinity asks for the factors, then the case for each product.
6A pharma company knows pediatric medicines. It can buy a drug for teenagers or one for people over 70. What factors would you weigh?
What a strong answer does: Groups the factors (patients and market, the product against today's care, economics, fit and investment), puts the client's existing footprint among them and names the two that decide.
7Your rare disease drug has a smaller revenue peak than the alternative. Make the best case for it in one minute.
What a strong answer does: Uses only given facts (who treats the disease, how concentrated the prescribers are, unmet need, time to launch), then states what you would check first, and does not defend the number it already lost on.
Trinity says most interviews include behavioral components, and its associates tell candidates to have stories ready.
9Why life sciences consulting, and why Trinity?
What a strong answer does: Ties a specific moment (a course, research, a job) to a commercial question in healthcare and to what Trinity says it does, in under a minute, and does not recite the careers page.
10Tell me about a time you worked in a team and something went wrong.
What a strong answer does: Tells one specific story with your role, the problem, what you changed and a result with a number, and stays honest about what you would do differently.

A Trinity Life Sciences prep plan, day by day
The order follows Trinity Life Sciences' own pages; the timing is our suggestion.
Days 1 and 2
Read Trinity's own pages
Read the careers page, the early talent page and its application FAQ, and note the four traits and the interview format: 45 minutes, case and behavioral, a virtual round and a Superday.
Do all six questions out loud and timed, write your two patient numbers and both revenue figures, then open Trinity's answers and redo the step you missed.
Prepare a specific Why Trinity answer and two or three stories with numbers, then run one full 45-minute mock with a friend: one case, then behavioral questions.
How do I prepare for the Trinity Life Sciences case interview?
Work Trinity's own practice case first: two hypothetical drugs, patient sizing for each, a peak revenue calculation and a recommendation, in six questions. Do it out loud and timed before you open the answers Trinity shows behind each question. Then train what its cases lean on: market sizing built from disease and treatment facts, quick case math and reading exhibits, and a few behavioral stories, since Trinity says its interviews include both case and behavioral parts. On Road to Offer a free account includes 1 full AI-graded case, and our life sciences guide, sizing drills and worked cases need no account. Firm-style cases are practice cases written for Road to Offer or adapted from university consulting club casebooks, not the firm's own cases.
Where can I practice Trinity Life Sciences-style case interviews for free?
Start on Trinity's own site: its practice case study is free, needs no account and has an answer behind each of its six questions. On Road to Offer, the sample case on this page is a pharma-style case you can run in your browser with no account, and your first full case with the AI interviewer is free with a free account, no card. Dunmore Cargo Bikes (market sizing) and HarborHealth (a healthcare acquisition) are worked cases to read free, with a model answer for every question.
What is Trinity Life Sciences' practice case study and how should I use it?
It is the one case Trinity publishes for candidates, linked from its careers and early talent pages. A mid-size pharma company with a pediatric focus considers entering dermatology or ophthalmology and is looking at two hypothetical assets, a topical drug for underarm hyperhidrosis and a biosimilar injection for wet AMD. Six questions follow: size the eligible patients for each, name the factors that decide the choice, calculate peak revenue from a table, then argue the case for each product. Use it as a timed rehearsal: answer each question out loud, write down your number, then open Trinity's answer. Our sample case on this page follows the same order with a different disease.
What does a Trinity Life Sciences case interview look like?
Trinity says most interviews are 45 minutes, held over Microsoft Teams or on campus, and combine behavioral and case components. Its published case suggests the case part: pharma patient sizing, a revenue calculation and a prioritization question. Candidates report life-science-specific cases with a lot of mental math, and some report three separate case interviews in one process. Trinity's pages do not say who leads the case, so practise both opening with your own structure and answering one question at a time.
How many interview rounds does Trinity Life Sciences have?
Trinity does not give a number. Its application FAQ says selected applicants go through a series of behavioral and critical thinking or case interviews with consulting staff, usually over a few weeks, with a virtual interview and then a Superday at its offices. For the externship, its 2026 page describes a self-recorded video interview and one 45-minute Teams interview. Candidates report anything from one week to two months, most often two to four weeks, and the process differs by office and level.
Do I need a life sciences background to interview at Trinity Life Sciences?
Trinity looks for interest rather than a specific degree for entry roles: it says it hires undergraduate and advanced degree students, and lists science and business courses and an interest in the intersection of life sciences and business among what it looks for. Its Consultant role is for candidates with an advanced degree such as a PhD, PharmD, MD, MBA with experience or a postdoc. Either way, learn the vocabulary a pharma case uses: prevalence, diagnosed and treated patients, lines of therapy, peak share and net price.
What is Transition to Trinity, and does it affect full-time hiring?
Transition to Trinity is a three-day externship for candidates pursuing an MD, PhD or PharmD, or in a postdoc, built around a real-life project simulation of a life sciences strategy consultant's work. Trinity's 2026 page says it is first an experiential program but that Trinity may evaluate participants for full-time roles. Its interview is a self-recorded video, then one 45-minute Teams interview with case and behavioral parts. Applications were due in March for 2026, it is offered only in the US and it requires US work authorization without employer visa support, so check the current page.
When does Trinity Life Sciences recruit interns, and how long is the internship?
Trinity's early talent page describes a nine-week internship that runs from late June to mid-August, generally for students six months to a year from graduating. Applications are due in late fall to early winter depending on the business unit, and its FAQ gives the first week of January for European internship resumes. Locations named are Waltham, New York, San Francisco, East Norriton and London, and you apply through its Careers site.
Does Trinity Life Sciences have an online test?
Trinity's pages do not name one. The only pre-interview step they describe is the self-recorded video interview for the Transition to Trinity externship. If you get an invitation for a test or video, follow it; the closest practice is our case math and chart drills.
Is the Trinity Life Sciences case candidate-led or interviewer-led?
Trinity does not say. Its published case is a numbered list of six questions, which reads as interviewer-led: each question is asked after the previous one is done. Practise both: open with a short structure when the question is open, and answer a directed question with a number and one sentence on what it means.
What does Trinity Life Sciences look for in candidates?
Trinity's careers page names four traits: exceptional passion for transforming healthcare, strong people skills, an innovative, results-driven and entrepreneurial spirit, and high character, including integrity. Its early talent page adds challenging yourself academically with science and business courses, leadership and teamwork outside class, and being coachable and intellectually curious. Prepare behavioral stories that show one of those, with a number in each.
What advice does Trinity give for the case interview?
Two Trinity associate consultants give advice on its early talent page: prepare with a friend or classmate because the hard part is saying your insights out loud and being comfortable with imperfections, and do many live mock cases and behavioral interviews because reading and solo practice only go so far. Do not neglect the behavioral stories either: one of them says to have a few ready that show teamwork and handling challenges.
