Join us to hear from Dan Gordin, PhD who will give a presentation that demystifies the regulatory aspects of the drug approval process at the FDA. We will also go through a case study of an experimental drug that needed a bridging strategy to be competitive with another compound and the changes in formulation that required. This seminar will give you invaluable first-hand insight to the pharmaceutical drug development pipeline.
