09.24.24 -- In Defense Of The Full-Time Equivalent (FTE)

SPONSOR

Join the next Outsourced Pharma Live as our panel explores the critical considerations and best practices for selecting and managing CDMOs in the development of novel therapies, including advanced therapy medicinal products like cell and gene therapies. Industry experts will share insights on evaluating CDMO capabilities, ensuring quality and compliance, and fostering effective partnerships to accelerate innovation while mitigating risks.

FEATURED EDITORIAL

In Defense Of The Full-Time Equivalent (FTE)

"Back in the day," says Chief Editor Louis Garguilo, "it proved most optimal for my biopharma clients ... I’m speaking of the full-time equivalent (FTE) model at CDMOs for your drug development (and certain manufacturing) needs. Hooking up to specific professionals at your CDMO still makes good sense."

A Day In The Life Of A CMC Professional

This CMC (chemistry, manufacturing and control) professional spends a good deal of time thinking about and interacting with his CDMOs. Through his experience, he knows that ineluctably some form of challenge will arise. Just another day at the office?

Emerging Models for Outsourcing Development and Manufacturing

What's your development and manufacturing outsourcing strategy based on? Do you have the right contracts and external relationships in place to successfully implement that strategy? Are there new models for sponsor-CDMO partnerships?
