SUMMARY:Establishing a Regulatory Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Does your company view regulatory issues only as a necessary function to ensure compliance? This approach potentially neglects a greater value-added contribution that regulatory experts can provide: how to design and establish a regulatory strategy. This webinar covers how regulatory experts design paths to market and establish critical points for product classification. Oftentimes\, a single product can have more than one classification and thus more than one regulatory path. With the right advice regulatory experts can help you make the best decision to move your product forward.

SUMMARY:Virtual BioXchange
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the first virtual BioXchange event allowing you the best online opportunity to interact with other individuals from throughout the life science industry. We have missed seeing everyone at our monthly events since the pandemic hit so we have worked hard for the best couple of months to find the best possible solution in order to take them virtual. The event is being powered on Grapevine Network’s platform which provides an amazing experience that allows attendees the freedom to check in and out of different group discussions within an interactive chatroom environment. This platform has been able to provide the closest experience to an actual networking event since the pandemic hit. \n***Event is expected to sell out and NOT ALL RVSPS ARE GUARANTEED ENTRY into the event due to the limited attendee capacity offered on the platform.
