A Salto Partners Webinar on Outsourcing in the Life Science Industry

Sept. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- The Pharmaceutical industry is constantly undergoinging changes. In the past pharmaceutical companies used to develop products internally. That has changed. In-house resources are often quickly exhausted. For many years pharma companies have been under pressure because drugs are going off patent. They look for ways to stay competitive. It takes $+1.5B and many R&D years for a new drug to enter the market. Patient recruitment and medical personnel account for nearly 70 per cent of the clinical costs that are required to bring a drug to market. To better cope with these issues pharmaceutical companies are increasingly utilizing CROs. Global outsourced R&D expenditure is projected to continue to increase over the next years.  In this presentation, Salto Partners takes a look at two outsourcing models utilized by Fortune 500 companies. It discusses the pros and cons of either approach. The presentation ends with 5 top do's and don’ts managing projects successfully with CROs.
