Our CEO Nikki Whitfield recently spoke with PharmaSource about redefining CDMO partnerships and biotechs needing to look for CDMOs that can demonstrate flexibility when challenges arise and show genuine passion for project success. Listen to the PharmaSource Podcast below ⬇️ #CDMO #Podcast
Biotechs will have worked on a drug candidate for years - taking molecules through early trials to hit a target - before it gets to a CDMO. Nikki Whitfield, CEO of Upperton Pharma Solutions recently spoke to the PharmaSource podcast about how important it is to find a team that shares your passion. A chemist by background and self-described "formulator by heart", she has significant experience developing sterile and non-sterile dosage forms for small and mid-sized pharma companies, including a tenure at Quotient Sciences, before taking the helm at Upperton in 2021. Trust is the fundamental element: "It's very difficult to hand your baby over to somebody else to develop. You want to know that they're going to take good care of it, that you're going to remain a priority within the organisation." She advises finding out early how partners handle challenges. "You only know that once you start really working with people and you hit your first bump in the road and see how they respond to that and work with you through that. That gives you everything that you need to know about what's going to happen further down the line." Nikki advises biotechs to look for CDMOs that can: - Match their development speed - Provide necessary technical expertise - Demonstrate flexibility when challenges arise - Show genuine passion for project success 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/dzcm73Nh -- To learn more, ,meet the Upperton team at CDMO Live to discuss how they can support your drug development journey. #CDMOLive #Partnership
