Avoid Clinical Manufacturing Pitfalls With These 4 Tech Transfer Best Practices

This event is now available on demand.

Event Overview:

Your clinical biomanufacturing program can be derailed if you don't pay attention to tech transfer details. Sponsors and CDMOs are eager to get contracts signed, but often overlook the crucial steps in the tech transfer process that will set the program up for success.

The sponsor, commercial, scientific, and program management teams each play a crucial role in the process. Hear from each of these stakeholders and gain insight based on real-world examples from recent tech transfers for early-stage clinical programs.

This webinar will cover:
  • Ways a successful tech transfer can save you time–and therefore money–in the long-run
  • What you need from your current CDMO before you switch partners
  • Commons mistakes made during the tech transfer process (and how to avoid them)
Key Learning Objectives: 
  • The nuances of tech transfer that matter most
  • How to prepare for tech transfer before you select a CDMO
  • Key mistakes to avoid during the tech transfer process
Who Should Attend:

  • Tech Transfer
  • CMC
  • Process Development 
  • Product Development
  • C-Suite
  • External Manufacturing 
  • Technical Operations
  • Project Management
