Meranda Parascandola

The market for the manufactured and supplied APIs is changing continuously, and there are many factors influencing these changes. Being aware of these changing trends is important. Perhaps what’s even more important is how you leverage the opportunities they bring and how to react to them. In this episode, Ed, Meranda and Brian talk with a group of drug substance services experts about the major trends you should know and be aware of, and how you can use them to your advantage. This panel includes experts who have appeared on the podcast before: David Blasingame, Jim Mencel, Dave Adams and Daniel Torok.

In this very special episode of CMC Live, hosts Ed Narke, Brian Lihou and Meranda Parascandola provide an in-depth recap of Season One, complete with direct quotes from all of their illustrious guests. Ed, Brian and Meranda reflect on everything from Jim Mencel’s perspective on expedited drug development programs and Dave Adams’ belief in trusting the API process to Daniel Torok’s analysis of the White Coat Effect and Judy Magruder’s effective strategies for early stage drug development. They share insights from David Blasingame on the advantages and disadvantages of manufacturing in China as well as Hedley Rees’ views on the importance of creating a value chain. Finally, Ed, Brian and Meranda discuss topics they’d like to integrate into Season Two and thank the listeners for their support throughout the year.
