FEATURED EDITORIAL

I Outsource, Reluctantly

“I’ve worked with CROs and CDMOs since 2000,” says an outwardly jovial Jin-an Jiao, VP, Process and Analytical Development, Synthekine, a developer of CAR T therapies and biologics. “That's 24 years already!” His apparent mirth, though, masks a complication: Generally speaking, Jiao is a reluctant outsourcer. Here's how he handles that.

How Adept CMC Management Blazes A Trail To The Clinic

Properly executing CMC management — and CMC outsourcing, in particular — mitigates risk and provides opportunities to accelerate pharmaceutical developers’ rush to clinic.
