Communication Strategies. Case Studies. Applied Knowledge.
Hear from leaders around the globe as they share insights about their experiences and lessons learned throughout their certification journey.
This webcast will cover areas such as the broadening role of Regulatory Affairs across the product lifecycle, how technology can help accelerate label development and approval, and unlocking the value of published literature and clinical trial data to advance Regulatory Strategy. The format is a Q&A with regulatory leaders from Merck, Scholar Rock and Sobi.
Given the pressure on regulatory professionals to move ever more quickly to regulatory approval, technology can be an enabler. Technology can also help regulatory professionals take on more of a leadership role across the organization by providing a more comprehensive view of the landscape and the ability to rapidly interrogate and interpret data.
This topic is one that is relevant from the most senior level, as executives look to empower their teams with the most impactful tools, to the most junior level, as employees strive to advance their careers.
The regulatory leaders on the panel will offer insights from a range of life sciences segments, including large pharma, mid-market pharma and biotech.
