The bluEPrint by Executive Platforms

At the 2024 edition of the Pharma Manufacturing World Summit held earlier this month in Boston, we spoke with JR Humbert, INCOG BioPharma Services’ VP Quality, about the crucial contributions CDMOs are making towards the future of medicine, both for large manufacturers and also for a whole range of new, small companies moving their Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products towards commercialization. What are the important issues pharmaceutical manufacturers need to be asking about and learning about as they choose how to partner with a third party to build up their capacity and capabilities? What does the working relationship need to look like from a quality perspective, from a compliance perspective, and from a day-to-day performance perspective? Where are Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations going as a growing facet of this industry, and how are the best of them trying to become customer-centric to help best serve patients? For all this and more, give this episode a listen!
