AI And Data Pull CDMOs Into Pharma's Commercial Strategy

The healthcare continuum has evolved to where the distance between external API producers and fill-finish experts, and the commercial apparatus of their pharma customers, has lessened. Commercial evidence now starts its derivation as innovation becomes tangible material, set processes, and then product creation … at external development and manufacturing partners. Jon Williams, CEO, Lumanity, says there's a shift toward integrating development strategy and commercial decision-making earlier in the lifecycle.
