The Road to IND: Accelerating Development & Manufacturing of Oral Small Molecules

Date: April 4, 2023
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. PCT
Location: JLABS – San Diego
3210 Merryfield Row
San Diego, Calif. 92121

In collaboration with:

 

In today’s environment, it is important to make the right R&D choices, especially considering the various pressures on developers such as time, resources, and funding. Short term thinking can lead to long term problems leading to missed timelines, escalating costs, and even regulatory issues in later phases. Fortunately, innovators can employ various data driven scientific approaches to make key early development decisions right the first time.

This event will focus on several key considerations for developing the best small molecule drug product for patients:

  • Adopting novel technologies to discover targets, identify lead compounds, and assess pre-clinical safety and efficacy
  • Analyzing and addressing biopharmaceutical challenges
  • Integrating preclinical data to design better clinical trials.
