The business models and strategic drivers shaping the research and development of new therapeutics are constantly changing. Organizations involved are being challenged to find the right balance between fostering a culture of innovation while improving efficiency to reduce costs. External collaborations and outsourcing have become accepted industry practices yet identifying and connecting with the right resource for a project, be it a university research laboratory or a service provider, can be a daunting challenge.

The focus of this presentation will be how companies (and research intensive institutions) can address these challenges with a particular emphasis on the use of online tools to improve the success of contract research/outsourcing outcomes. Further, a framework will be introduced to help understand what the key factors are that influence key decision-makers in choosing the right university laboratory or service provider for a particular project or need.</li>

June’s SHOW will examine the drug development process and highlight new paradigms for pharmaceutical innovation. In the current pharmaceutical research-based drug industry, the source of many of the medications in use today, economic, regulatory, and competitive pressures are forcing companies to re-evaluate and restructure their research and development (R&amp;D) processes. Our special guest speaker Dr. Kenneth Kaitin will discuss major shifts within the pharmaceutical industry. The industry has been undergoing a transformation from fully-integrated pharmaceutical companies (FIPCos) to a network model (FIPNet) that encompasses all the major stakeholders in drug development including: large and small pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic research institutions, patient groups, public-private-partnerships, and contract research organizations.</li>
