FEATURED EDITORIAL

Remember Why You Are Outsourcing

Just over a year ago, AstraZeneca went all in on creating a cell-therapy franchise; Samir Panjwani joined as a supplier-relationship manager. “I’ve been a builder throughout my career,” he says. The question he’s always kept in mind: Why are we in this industry? He discusses his new role, and his “bilateral experiences” supporting manufacturing outsourcing supply chains.

 

Advancing Academic Vaccine Innovation into Global Access

Moving infectious disease programs from promising laboratory discoveries to scalable interventions requires bridging the gap between academic research and commercial manufacturing. In this episode of Outsourcing Against the Outbreak, Dr. Maria Elena Bottazzi, Co-Director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development at Baylor College of Medicine, explores how academic teams can navigate this journey successfully.
