The discovery-to-market journey is now more complex and expensive than ever before
There is an explosion of knowledge happening in pharma, but even with a slew of technological and scientific advances, how are we not witnessing a more productive R&D landscape? The cost of enduring R&D is higher than ever before, yet productivity across the industry has gone flat. This frontier has an incredible degree of complexity, and there's no defined path or platform towards complete data integration, harmonization, and accessibility.
This Winter, join us in a focused discussion to address the most pressing industry challenges. With leaders coming from both big pharma and small, this Summit will present the most actionable solutions to streamline data management, simplify vendor qualification and partnership, bring a higher level of functionality to the lab, and tackle many more topics surrounding informatics' key role in reseraching, developing, and then commercializing new and novel therapeutics.
Learn to Leverage the Modern Lab:
- Quantify the tools used within the lab while incorporating built-in flexibility in order to maximize your resources
- Anticipate the benefits of the pre-competitive space in pulling resources together to save time and lower costs
- Enable your technicians & scientists to further advance through increased data visibility
- Best practices for externalization of your CRO's and creating one standard stream of communication
- Global harmonization of your different sites in order to create a standardized system of sharing data
- Manage and properly utilize the volume & velocity of data collected through automation
New Focus Areas
- R&D - Integrate your fragmented infrastructure to allow for innovation and discovery
- CLINICAL - Increase your predictive analytical capabilities to decrease cost and time of clinical trials
- MANUFACTURING - Streamline tech-transfers and processes to reduce bottlenecks and delays
- QA/QC - Create a transparent data architecture to harmonize validation and regulatory submissions
