8:30 am - 9 am: Registration and Refreshments
9 am - 9:30 am: Welcome and Opening Remarks
9:30 am - 11:30 am: Presentation and Round Table
11:30 am - 12 pm: Lunch and Networking
Establishing a CMC strategy and development of a manufacturing process for a biologic can be a complex undertaking, with many aspects to consider and potential pitfalls along the journey. This round table event will involve a presentation followed by discussions to review the key steps involved in the development of manufacturing processes for early phase biologics, where the desire for speed to clinic needs to be weighed against critical decisions in order to ensure the manufacturing process will support near term requirements and serve as a platform for longer term goals.
