How Pharma is Expanding its Global Footprint to Advance Clinical Research

About this webinar:

How is pharma determining the right global footprint for their clinical trials?  

In this webinar, a panel of clinical operations leaders discuss their process for identifying the best regions to expand clinical trial opportunities and how they match that to an evolving portfolio, and how they respond to shifting geopolitical landscapes.

More specifically, the panelists discuss:  

  • How to assess if your global footprint needs to change 
  • The right strategy around infrastructure, including when to outsource  
  • How to build in readiness and the capabilities to pivot when necessary  

This discussion is a rebroadcast from the 2025 DPHARM conference. For more information on this panel and others, visit DPHARMconference.com.
