Official comments
Chief Technical Officer (CTO) at Scitara, Geoff Gerhardt, said: “Bringing new drugs to market involves overcoming complex data management challenges in a highly regulated environment. Mobilising scientific data from research through quality control (QC)/manufacturing is critical to accelerating the pace of bringing life-saving therapies to market. Digital technology has huge transformational potential but regulatory barriers have delayed its adoption compared to other industries. Joining BioPhorum gives us the opportunity to work in collaboration with other like-minded industry leaders to share our knowledge, decades of experience, and resources in data custodianship to help science turn data into useable knowledge.”
Lauren Morgan, IT Phorum Lead at BioPhorum, added: “Scitara is leading next generation digital transformation in the lab. This aligns perfectly with our strategic goal of creating an environment in which leaders in the international pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries come together to share information and accelerate the pace of change – for the benefit of the whole industry.”
