Dr. James Blackwell, Ph.D, M.B.A discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant changes, both disruptions and accelerated development. Lessons learned can inform practices from the production floor to regulatory guidance for the commercialization of future therapeutics and vaccines. This presentation looks at how organizations adapted to the unprecedented critical need to get to market with life-saving vaccines; and how process development; manufacturing/operations/facilities; partnerships; and regulatory change can accelerate development in the future.
