The Drug Development Process - From Discovery to Commercialization - Webinar By GlobalCompliancePanel
An overview of the drug development process, reviewing key deliverables for each stage of the development path with a special focus on managing the development process when using external resources such as Contract Manufactures, Contract Testing Labs
Online, November 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - In today's fast-paced, highly regulated and risk-aversive environment, functional groups can no longer work in isolation, but must collaborate extensively to design, develop, manufacture, test, validate and commercialize new drugs. Successful commercialization depends on effective processes to bring both the drug supply manufacturing processes and controls as well as the associated data and knowledge to the levels required for an approvable launch.
Why you should attend: How familiar are you with the complex and cross-functional activities that make up the drug development path? If you are involved in any step of drug development from discovery research through process development, pre-clinical and toxicological testing, GMP manufacturing, clinical trials and regulatory affairs, an understanding of how your role fits in with the other activities is key to achieving effective and efficient development and commercialization.
