Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why caring is winning in the CRO space
Q: Why do sponsors often feel like they have to micromanage their CROs and invest far too much time and energy in it?
Jones attributes micromanagement mainly to a lack of trust when providers fail to meet commitments or communicate. He says trust is built by delivering science, meeting deadlines, maintaining compliance and quality, and keeping clients informed, including when there are problems.
Why caring is winning in the CRO space
Q: How do smaller companies differentiate themselves in a way that allows them to convince a client that they're a better fit than the one-stop shops?
Jones says smaller CROs can emphasize flexibility, consulting and boutique-level service while maintaining the equipment and capacity to scale. Faster decisions and attentive client support help them earn opportunities that larger providers may win through name recognition or total capacity.
Takeaways from CDMO Live Americas
Q: How would you rate your organization's AI maturity?
The panel describes a mix of experimentation and departmental deployment. Jennifer Chadwick says adoption depends on company size and that early-stage biotech teams are not widely using AI for CMC development. Ben Locwin notes that useful applications must be fit for purpose and explainable in regulated settings.
Takeaways from CDMO Live Americas
Q: What are the red flags that you tell your biotech clients to look out for when choosing their first CDMO on the road to IND?
Jennifer Chadwick reframes the issue as actions to take: start early, talk with multiple CDMOs, learn the industry and select a partner suited to the work. She advises founders to focus on understanding and reducing risk rather than treating cost as the primary criterion.
CPHI Milan Live Panel: The Real Truths Shaping Pharma Outsourcing
Q: How big a topic is pricing now, and are you feeling some of that pressure in the sector?
The panel describes pricing pressure as persistent, with the impact varying by service and supply-demand conditions. Customers may pay for reliable supply, technology, speed and manufacturing options, while excess capacity in some areas increases competition.
