What will this webinar address?
R&D is the lifeblood of Pharma, and the past year has really showcased the tireless work of pharma companies, start-ups and research institutions who have developed treatments, diagnostics and vaccines against COVID-19.
Even in pre-pandemic times, the spiraling costs of drug development (estimated at an average ofUSD 2.6 billion*) mean that pharma companies have always had to think strategically about their R&D activities –staying competitive by reducing risk, managing costs and increasing time to market to justify their significant investments.
As treatments become ever more complex, how is the R&D model evolving? Should Pharma companies shift from internal R&D to relying more heavily on CROs and other partners to increase the probability of success? What new tools and technologies can the market call upon to reduce risk?
This webinar will discuss the evolution of R&D models, the outsourcing landscape, how to de-risk your development and maximise ROI.
