The need for accelerated drug development has become even greater, with added pressure on CDMOs to deliver customer’s programs in a timely, efficient and agile manner. In this industry, time is not just money, it can impact the entire program; a program which has been through years of careful consideration, strategic discussions and planning to get medicines to patients in need. Drug substance plays a major part in ensuring a drug program achieves its major milestones, keeps to budget and delivers on its corporate goals. As every molecule and development program is different, there is no single manufacturing solution. Understanding what strategy to move forward with, what processes and technologies are available and who to partner with, is key.

But how do drug developers know which strategy and approach is right for their molecule?
In this webinar, the featured speaker will discuss the different routes that drug developers can take to synthesize and manufacture their drug substance and evaluate their pros and cons. He will share how integrated drug substance and drug product capabilities in the candidate selection stage can aid in selecting the best molecules to move forward with into drug substance and beyond. He will also touch on the key technologies that can be employed to establish a robust, and commercially scalable synthetic process.

Join this webinar as the speaker explores case studies to demonstrate how drug substance and drug product development plans can be accelerated through innovative science and expertise to get drug substance off the critical path.
Speaker
Stephen McQuaker, Director, Drug Development Consulting, Quotient Sciences
Dr. Stephen McQuaker has over ten years’ experience across a range of chemical industries including pharmaceuticals, flavour and fragrance and fast-moving consumer goods. He is experienced in upstream and downstream focussed roles, including process research and development, new technology and formulation development, as well as in pilot plant and commercial scale manufacturing support functions. He has first-hand experience of drug candidate development programs through non-clinical and early clinical phases, including GMP drug substance manufacturing at multi-kilogram scale, using both batch processing and continuous flow technologies.
Stephen holds a PhD in organic chemistry from the University of Glasgow and has also conducted academic research in the areas of synthetic organic chemistry and chemical biology, at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (NY, USA) and at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging (CA, USA).
