OVERVIEW:
Today’s biopharmaceutical companies are charged with making the most out of their limited resources (time, money, and personnel) to successfully bring products to market. Effective regulatory strategy, like product design, requires “quality-by-design” approach and planning throughout the product development lifecycle.
