FEATURED EDITORIAL

A CMC Playbook For Leadership And Hiring

Would you like a shortcut to failure in regulatory CMC? Hire extensively based on what candidates already know. That’s a provocation underlying a number of conversations with senior leaders in regulatory CMC, and it feels especially relevant to outsourcing. With the correct attitude and leadership, learning (yes, on the job) may beat credentials for long-term success.

Will FDA's One-Day Inspection Pilot Stand The Test Of Time?

FDA's complementary pilot could help weed through a persistent examination backlog, but uncertainty and upheaval in leadership at the top puts its future in question.
