This year's panel sees the return of ten thought leaders with the addition of
three new members, covering the entire pharmaceutical supply chain from R&D
through to finished products, regulatory requirements and economic
implications. Additionally, this year panel members are utilising their market
insights and analysis year round in the CPhI Pharma Insights series, which
cover individual topics and developments across the industry - including the
released R&D, manufacturing and Turkey reports, with a United States report due
out imminently.
The new panel members are all from the contract manufacturing arena, with
heavyweights Alan Armonstrong (CEO) and Douglas Cookson (VP corporate
marketing) from Almac. Hendrik Baumann, the current CEO of Arevipharma,
leverages his expertise within the German market and across API manufacturing.
Lukas Utiger - president of Fine Chemicals and Integrated Offering at DSM -
will lend his insights in the commercialization of pharmaceuticals.
Collectively they provide a global overview of outsourcing with Almac and
Arevipharma focusing on the international market from a European stance and DSM
from a US perspective.
The returning members feature expertise across API and manufacturing
efficiencies (Girish Malhotra) to quality systems and supply chain activities
(Sam Venugopal), with insights also provided from some of the sectors biggest
names and innovators, like Piramal's Vijay Shah. Across supply chain issues,
the panel will leverage the knowledge of Hedley Rees, whilst Prabir Basu,
formerly of the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Technology and Education
(NIPTE), will focus on the industry's approach to innovation.
Regulatory expert, predominantly focussed on the Indian market, Dilip Shah also
returns covering the intellectual property rules around innovation. Brian
Carlin, who chairs IPEC Americas Excipient Qbd Committee, is also returning. He
serves as the director of Open innovation at FMC and received the IPEC One
World Regulatory Excellence Award in 2014. The winner of several FDA
Commissioner Awards, Dr. Ali Afnan is another well-respected industry
influencer and was a key contributor to the drafting and finalising of the
current FDA Process Validation Guidance.
Emil Ciurczak, previously a member of the FDA's PAT committee and president of
Doramaxx Consulting
[http://www.linkedin.com/search?search=&company=Doramaxx+Consulting&sortCriteria
=R&keepFacets=true&trk=prof-exp-company-name ] draws upon his expertise across
PAT, QbD and spectroscopy. Finally, William Botha, a respected trainer and
mentor in manufacturing is also retuning to the panel; he is fluent in FDA
regulations, including GDP and GMP.
Last year's report examined major issues and developments across the industry
including regulatory challenges from a globalised industry, cost savings
through QbD and PAT, to the effect breakthrough drugs like ADCs will have on
overcoming future disease pathologies.
"The 2013 report was hugely successful with our experts providing insights into
how the industry will adapt in the near future. This year we have been able to
see the progress the industry has made along with the new challenges and
threats ahead. Our experts will examine future potential breakthrough drugs,
regulatory risks and supply chain issues. This year we also have representation
from leading global CDMO players, Patheon, Almac and Arevipharma- adding a
further depth of perspectives and providing a completely holistic picture of
the global pharma landscape." commented Chris Kilbee, Group Director Pharma at
CPhI.
The 2014 annual report features a collection of in depth essays from each panel
member - with experts again given carte blanche to prophesize how the industry
will look and operate in the future from both an economic and practical
perspective.
Kilbee added, "I am very pleased that we have been able to include in our panel
many of the major figures in the industry, as they provide hundreds of years of
experience both individually and collectively. The panel's ability to provide a
realistic approach to problem solving, coupled with an international outlook is
essential in advancing market dynamics."
