Although three-dimensional (3D) printing has been around for some time, many people still underestimate its capabilities. This article addresses the regulatory challenges faced by the pharmaceutical sector and aims to correct some of the most common myths surrounding the technology.
Effective supply chain management can cut costs, improve service and enhance company revenues; however, the pharma industry has historically been a slow adopter of leading-edge practices. Nikki Withers discussed the fundamentals of contemporary supply chain management with Ed Sweeney, Professor of Logistics and Systems at Aston University, who believes that…
Articles in this in-depth focus explore the four fundamental elements of effective supply chain management and discuss how the implementation of reliable guidelines could lead to the success of 3D printing for pharma.
Many pharmaceutical and biotech companies outsource their product development and manufacturing. In this article, experts from Simon-Kucher & Partners explain why smart offer design and costing is key to commercial success for CDMOs.
There is a growing adoption of metabolomics to support drug discovery and development. Metabolomics involves the comprehensive analysis of metabolites in biological specimens. As such, it is commonly used for the discovery and validation of biomarkers that can support critical decisions in the drug development process. In this article, Christopher…
In this issue we discuss whether clinicians know enough about the development of biosimilars to buy in, explore the biggest M&A trends in pharma and what to expect this year and consider the importance of disaccharides in the stabilisation of biologics. The journal also features articles on the fundamentals of…
