Optimizing CMO Partnerships

Pharmaceutical companies are facing increasing pressure to accelerate development timelines and bring more targeted therapies to market, all while handling increased regulatory hurdles and managing their manufacturing footprint and costs. At the same time Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) are investing in innovation and capacity to provide solutions for these challenges, providing risk mitigation, quality, and ultimately speed-to-market.

In a recent webinar, SMC experts discussed best practices and tips across a range of topics, including program management, automation, and secondary services. With over 35 years of satisfying customers, SMC provides a broad range of design, development, manufacturing, and CMO services. In this Q&A from the webinar, Meredith Canty, Senior Director of Drug Delivery; Charlotte Ward, Director of Program Management; and Ryan Moran, Director of Automation Engineering discuss how to ensure success and speed-to-market with drug delivery projects by establishing a firm foundation when working with a CMO.
