  It is becoming more critical today for life science companies to stretch their dollars into pre-clinical research and ultimately, commercial viability.  Pressures range from funding sources and partnerships to managing real estate and outsourcing options;  all of these affect the strategic decisions start-up or growing biotech companies need to make. 

  Join our BioSciences Forum for this panel discussion which will review some of the many strategies and options biotech companies have at their disposal and the effects these decisions may or may not have on their ability to pivot and address new challenges with their research and platforms.  At present, there are a number of alternatives when it comes to pre- and clinical work - including CROs, CDMO, and incubators. Companies must consider the relevance and timing of commercial lab space availability, construction costs and lead times, and investor requirements.  Small companies are feeling the squeeze to provide clinical results, which brings new challenges and the need to rethink how things get done.
