Tweetable Quotes

“One of the things that resonated with me on that particular podcast was how Dave [Adams] took a step back and said, ‘You really can’t underestimate the importance of the skilled technicians that actually run the process.’”

“The reality is they still need that person-in-plant. So, I think what Dan [Torok] brings to the table is what a lot of clients look for. Some clients don’t have that infrastructure and they blindly trust the CMO – and sometimes not always to the right result.”

“I think people are now realizing that they do need to take a lot of different factors into consideration when selecting their CMO and they might need that assistance from experts like us.”

“If you know that you have properly identified and characterized the development history of your product, and its pitfalls, and its areas of concern – and you’ve explored those – it really makes for a much more robust filing that stands up to scrutiny.”

“We had a special external guest, Hedley Rees, who talked a bit about supply chain and how to create a value chain.”

“Our job as regulatory reviewers, strategists, authors, CMC experts, is to decipher what the data is saying.”

“I think that’s the experience that Judy brought to bear is that holistic approach to a client’s program.”
