The Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) and the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society (RAPS) have come together to support sharing, collaboration, and learning across the global healthcare products community. With a focus on fostering open discussions of the most pressing issues facing the industry, the AFDO/RAPS Healthcare Products Collaborative will carry on Xavier Heath’s legacy of delivering Pharmalink in 2022. At PharmaLink, we work to find solutions that will increase confidence in product quality throughout your products’ life cycle management and global supply chain. We do this by aligning with the strategic priorities of the FDA and industry – and by helping participants create network links to drive compliant innovations. The solutions might not be evident within our companies, or our industry, so we explore beyond our industry – beyond borders and beyond comfort zones.

Healthcare diagnostics has seen a significant increase in over-the-counter (OTC) or direct-to-consumer (DTC) testing. A trajectory that was already in the making prior to COVID-19, this area has increased at a faster pace as more consumers are comfortable performing OTC tests at home. This change in consumer expectation, as well as an evolution of global regulatory requirements, has led to increased considerations and requirements by IVD manufacturers to produce robust testing options. Join NAMSA for this webinar as we evaluate those enhanced requirements specifically as they affect human factors and usability engineering to ensure all IVDs are safe and effective for the intended users, uses and use environments. Early understanding of these requirements is crucial and can influence the device display, controls, functions, results interpretations, instructions and countless other design inputs impacting the consumer.

Ohio Life Sciences has relaunched with a focus on advancing innovation and advocating for the common interests across Ohio’s life sciences community. This includes a new, cross-sector effort to accelerate workforce development that will be a central fuel for progress, today and for the future.

During this networking event, we will facilitate open dialogue and brainstorming on workforce development opportunities across the state, as well as ways you can get involved to unify industry and education to grow Ohio’s life sciences workforce. This FREE event will be hosted by OLS member Dupler Office. Drinks and appetizers will be provided.

Join NAMSA for this webinar where we will discuss the most common approaches used for determining the exhaustive endpoint, their advantages and disadvantages and their influence on study design and results. We will also outline how regulatory requirements and laboratory execution diverge, as well as other challenges of an E&L study that are influenced by a lack of standardized procedures (e.g. mass balance, toxicological assessment).

Companies performing qualified R&D activities can be rewarded by lucrative federal and state tax incentives in the form of R&D tax credits, even if their efforts were not successful. This is particularly true for small-to-midsized BIO and state life science association members.

Join us for a complimentary webinar to learn how to maximize this new BIO-ADP tax credit offering.
