SMi Group announce Managing Partnerships with CROs conference, 3rd & 4th October 2011
SMi Group is delighted to announce their Managing Partnerships with CROs conference. To be held on the 3rd and 4th October 2011, the event will address key issues such as new approaches to R&D methods & outsourcing activities & identifying risks in partnership formation.The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry is facing enormous challenges. With continuing R&D cuts, both in the workforce and financially, and compound attrition at all stages, productivity is low and efficiency is of paramount importance. Eliminating drugs from the development pipeline that don’t show promise early on has become essential to drug development activities.
With long-term alliances, innovative partnerships and strategic M&A's abound, it seems taking a new approach to R&D methodologies and outsourcing activities is proving to be the solution of choice for most companies to bring new therapeutics to market.
Our Key Speakers Include:
• Georgi Georgiev, Manager, Clinical Research, AstraZeneca
• Yiping Chen, MRC Study Coordinator & Senior Investigator Scientist, University of Oxford
• Helen McGrath, Senior Clinical Site Manager and Co-lead of Global Hub Outsourcing Specialist Team, Bristol-Myers Squibb
• Pasi Piitulainen, Senior Director, Business & Science Affairs, Actelion
• John Mellelieu, Senior Manager, Contracts and Outsourcing, Allergan
• Tony Carita, Director Clinical Outsourcing, Otsuka US
• Amy Ylisaari, Head of In and Out Sourcing, Orion Pharma
Key topics to be addressed include:
• Identifying risks in partnership formation
• A new approach to CRO partnerships
• Assessing the challenges for biotech in developing a clinical outsourcing strategy
• Improving CRO negotiations to accelerate time to market
• The role and outcome of multi-vendor studies
• Building a successful and strong outsourcing partnership
