FDA, regulatory, and quality dynamics for innovative outsourcing 9:15AM The FDA – and our entire system for drug approval – should feel more like a partner for the advancement of innovation and technology. Instead of using the FDA as a reason not to innovate, we’ll present some cues for working supportively. Topics will include moving from Quality to Integrated Risk Management, and how drug owners can team up with outsourcing partners.

We’ll get perspectives from younger members of our industry, and those of you trying to hire and mentor them.
