What one thing do you think will improve the biopharma industry?

Pharmaceutical quality systems that facilitate innovation and ongoing continuous improvement, while maintaining a high state of control and using risk-based regulatory approaches, will provide opportunities to enhance our scientific understanding.

On COVID-19?

We will need to rely on science to solve this new challenge and society has never needed our industry more than now.
