Digitisation Webinar
On 5 October, we hosted a webinar on digitisation. We were joined by Amazon Web Services, Healthcare and Life Sciences Leader, Himanshu Jain. Scientific data is at the core of every Life Sciences company and organisation. A key challenge many face is getting this valuable data out of the lab and into the decision making processes.
In this webinar we reviewed the common challenges facing labs, how digital solutions can overcome those challenges and discuss how lab digitisation can accelerate your product on its journey from bench to patient.

European Expansion
How emerging biotechs are exploring the opportunities of out-licensing?
Increasingly, emerging biotech companies enter Europe through partnerships and out-licencing deals due to the lower risk, less cost, and increased speed to market – all of which enable a successful first launch. However, for the right companies, go-alone remains attractive to generate the highest returns.
Following our latest report, hear from Hanno Ronte, Emma Dabbs and Rob Finn discussing the latest trends, choices, and tradeoffs to consider.

How to Innovate with the NHS
19 May at 4pm
Innovating with the NHS can be hard. Such a large organisation, with significant financial and operational constraints can seem difficult to engage with.
Do we talk to clinicians, commissioners, finance directors or in reality it is all of these teams? Do we focus nationally, locally or perhaps both? What innovation support is available to SMEs and how can we access that support?
Please listen again to our webinar as we bring together a community who have been successful in innovating.

Next Generation Therapies
Listen again to Life Sciences Catalyst team on 20 October at 13:30 BST.
Cell and gene therapies have the potential to revolutionise medical care, by eliminating the underlying cause of genetic and acquired diseases. It is one of the most exciting biopharma segments with relatively recent ground-breaking scientific advances driving rapid growth, and with staggering predictions for the future success of the industry. Yet, the wider economics of delivering next gen therapies - including payment models and affordability – are highly debated and not well understood.
As well as industry trends and future expectations, the team discussed how to navigate market access and reimbursement processes and the role of innovative contracting; considerations for the delivery of cell and gene therapies from a healthcare system perspective and overcoming the nuanced challenges in next gen R&D and realising a return on investment.
