Industry Experts Share their Insights on the Adoption Process of Novel Technologies in Drug Safety: Challenges and Solutions – Creating a Road Map for the Pharma Industry
Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 31, 2017 -- One Million Solutions in Health worked with industry experts from Pfizer and Amgen to share their insights via this webinar regarding the "Adoption Process of Novel Technologies in Drug Safety: Challenges and Solutions – Creating a Road Map for the Pharmaceutical and Biotech Industries".
Yvonne Will, Ph.D., Senior Director, Pfizer, and Helen McBride, Discovery Toxicologist, Amgen, who are industry leaders in drug safety in the biopharmaceutical industry, discuss the changing landscape of the industry and how a key building block of successful drug discovery, the toxicology program, has evolved over the years.
This panel discussion provides guidance to the vendor community on how best to work with the industry in today’s environment.
Additionally, Yvonne and Helen will be taking a bold step forward to lay out a plan as to ‘what’ should be evaluated and validated in pre-clinical safety – by the WHOLE industry – over the next 5+ years.
As drug safety leaders, Yvonne and Helen are asking the viewer join this discussion, to accelerate success rates, and to engage in a collaborative, consortium-based approach to truly help the industry be transformative in drug safety.
These industry experts are speaking as part of the Technology Evaluation Consortium™ (TEC), which brings together life sciences companies and industry vendors to evaluate and validate technologies in a collaborative and non-competitive environment. This collaborative model empowers technology and service providers, and industry end-users, to collectively assess a number of technologies in a cost-effective manner, producing a depth and breadth of results that no other company can achieve alone.
Industry Collaboration is Key: A consortium project brings together a number of industry leaders and solution providers to address a specific industry challenge. Consortium members share ideas and solutions, which often lead to more consistent standards across the industry. These standards help to create a likely path to product adoption, as the new technologies now include features and capabilities requested by end-users.
Saving Time and Money: By partnering with One Million Solutions in Health, each company can share in the cost of the project. Technology providers get value from working with multiple end-users from various organizations.
Additionally, feedback from multiple companies allows technology providers to better understand the needs of the industry and use that first-hand knowledge for product development. These industry experts provide information on how the industry can benefit from working in a consortia.
