(SC 1) THE INS & OUTS OF WORKING WITH
CROS* • 2:00-5:00pm
Outsourcing has become an integral part of creating
pharmaceutical and biological products.
Deciding which part of a project to outsource, and how to establish
and maintain positive
CRO/CMO relationships may not be as self-evident.
This workshop has been designed to provide helpful and practical
information about working
with contract research and contract manufacturing organizations,
including a focus on how CROs 'handle' the science that lies at the
heart of the work.
Topics to be discussed include:
• Choosing a CRO/CMO
• Sight Inspections
• IP Issues
• Project Management
• Communication
• Contracts
• Regulatory Issues
• Process Planning and Management (Including Process Changes)
This workshop will provide you with essential information that will
help you avoid unnecessary complications that lead to lost time –
and lost revenue.
