BIOTHERAPEUTICS

Introduction

The Biotherapeutics Committee works together to increase global access to critical protein-based therapies by encouraging science-based solutions and supporting access to venues where scientists can meet and discuss challenges and potential opportunities for global alignment.

Goals & Objectives

Identify and provide opportunities for researchers, industry, and regulators to address long standing and emerging issues which affect global access to biotherapeutics.

Provide organizational support for meetings where leaders can openly discuss challenges and share information, leading to potential solutions or sparking
innovation.

Engage leaders working in the biopharmaceutical field and health care such that the paths to achieve common goals are well articulated and can be realized.

Encourage innovation and forward-thinking solutions.
