Across the board, the pharma industry is facing sky-high pressures to bring drugs to market quickly, safely and affordably. Facing this daunting landscape, pharma companies are enlisting the help of focused contract manufacturers to shape their therapies from the ground up. CDMOs, who so often go unnamed and unsung, have now become integral to forging the future of pharma.

During this podcast, Chief Content Director Karen Langhauser will introduce you to the four promising CDMOs we’ve chosen to profile in our March issue — ten23 health, Cellares, INCOG BioPharma Services and Matica Biotechnology.

Launching a new company into a crowded contracting space isn’t for the faint of heart — it demands expertise, ingenuity and a willingness to embrace risk. Fortunately, a new generation of CDMOs are boldly positioning themselves to become pillars of pharmaceutical progress.
