2020 was an odd year for everyone. In what felt like just days, it seemed everything had changed and the rules were being rewritten almost daily about how we would all be engaging with one another. We went from racking up travel, hotel stays and airmiles while visiting our customers…

Cell and Gene Therapies (CGTs) are types of treatment that uses cellular or genetic material with the goal of treating a disease or a disordered. Often it can be a combination of cell and gene therapies, which is the case for Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR T-Cells).  As of…

In today’s drug development efforts, Research and Development has increasingly expanded to include multi-country strategies. Over time, pharmaceutical and biotech companies have made substantial impact on economies where development work is conducted, and some countries have developed strategies (i.e. Australia) to attract this lucrative market via financial incentives and offering…
