• Location: 177 Stanley Hall, UC Berkeley

Tim Moore, Senior VP of Global Supply Chain at Genentech, will be speaking in a special session of the Bioproduction Forum on Thursday, October 18, at midday.

 

Abstract:

Biopharmaceuticals have come of age over the past 10 years and are entering a new era of maturity. However, as the industry matures, competition will continue to increase, reimbursement and pricing pressures are more prevalent, government pressure to facilitate Follow-on-Biologics (FOB) is gaining momentum and regulatory scrutiny around manufacturing controls and safety will require the biopharmaceutical industry to more effectively manage their near term supply chain, while proactively preparing for future changes. This presentation will outline the key issues facing the biopharmaceutical industry today and tomorrow.
