Doubling Down On Biopharma’s Growing Skills Drought
The biopharmaceutical industry is building manufacturing capacity at breakneck speed. According to PhRMA, there are 1,580-and-counting biopharma manufacturing facilities in the U.S. alone. Problem is, we're way short on filling those facilities with skilled labor. NIIMBL wants to change that. Here's how, and a great opportunity for big pharma, biotech sponsors, CDMOs, academics, and more to help.
The career of Debra Weiss, RN, MSN, and COO at the biopharma Gates Medical Research Institute (Gates MRI), offers a case study in creating success through service-oriented leadership.
Check out the results of DeciBio's Antibody-Drug Conjugates 2024 Industry Survey, which predict another bullish year for the growing modality.
The U.S. imported $6.95 billion worth of pharmaceuticals from China in 2022. That was 8x the amount we imported in 2021. A proposed Act of Congress puts that supply, and U.S. biotech itself, in serious peril.
In the U.K., a professor at the University of Birmingham is using virtual reality (VR) to help address the growing biomanufacturing skills shortage — using virtual reality (VR).
