Spain Biotech: An Engine for Economic Change 

TCS podcastDiscover how Spain is focusing on biotechnology to be an engine for economic change through gradual internationalization, development and technology transfer.

Regional governments are actively investing in public and private biology research and promoting the creation of knowledge-based companies. Spain’s human capital combined with aggressive investment in biotech research and infrastructure has led to the creation of bio-clusters.

Today, there are nearly 700 Spanish companies engaged in biotechnology, with almost 50 percent growth in funding devoted to research. In fact, spending on internal R & D in biotechnology has grown 46 percent and is close to 300 million Euros.

“What Will Drive Tomorrow’s Health Business Innovation: Technology, Standards or New Business Models?” 

Medidata Solutions 2This podcast will discuss the current state of health business innovation, particularly around providing solutions for clinical trials and drug development. Executives from Medidata and SAS will address the following questions:

  • Does the health industry need more technology to drive business innovation?
  • How does the current state of industry standards impact the ability of technology to drive business innovation?
  • Is the lack of integration, inability to enter clean data or data privacy issues posing barriers to fully exploiting today’s technology?
  • Are standards and technology adoption hindered by misaligned business models?

Speakers: Glen de Vries, President of Medidata Solutions, and Jason Burke, Global Director of Health and Life Sciences Market Segments, SAS.

Rising Clinical Trial Delays and Costs - Addressing the Cause, Not the Symptoms 

medidata podcastProtocol complexity is taking a toll on clinical study speed and efficiency: increasingly complicated and ambitious protocols are not only burdening sites and study volunteers but are also prolonging trials and increasing expenses. In response, sponsors have turned to global study placement, restructured site relationships and new site management practices, but the problem remains.

This podcast will discuss:

  • Why these responses address only the symptoms, not the underlying cause, of rising clinical trial delays and costs.
  • Results of a recent joint Tufts University / Medidata Solutions study.
  • New metrics benchmarking protocol design trends.
  • Systematic protocol design improvements and why they are essential to clinical trial performance excellence.

Speakers: Ken Getz, Senior Research Fellow at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, and Ed Seguine, General Manager, Trial Planning Solutions at Medidata.
