Bioanalysis Zone Roundtable Panel Discussion: Introduction

Future Science Group

This year Bioanalysis Zone and Bioanalysis attended the 10th WRIB meeting in Florida (USA), where we organized a panel discussion* comprising experts from leading CROs and pharmaceutical companies to assess the current situation and future opportunities in bioanalysis. To have leading CRO and Pharmaceutical directors’ talk candidly about the key business challenges in bioanalysis is a rare occasion. We want to thank our experts Amanda Wilson, Eric Woolf, John Kolman, Roger Hayes, Stephanie Cape, Surinder Kaur, Stephen Lowes, Scott Summerfield and Neil Spooner for taking part in this special event. The panelists exchanged ideas and thoughts on various topics including; the future of outsourcing, investments made by pharma and CROs in new bioanalytical techniques and concerns about the skills gap in analytical chemistry.
