Understanding GxP Regulations for Healthcare – Presented by MIT Enterprise Forum Connecticut

October 10, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Understanding GxP regulations and implementing a quality system is often minimized by smaller companies in favor of activities that are perceived as added values, such as patents, licenses, and technological partnerships. But neglecting such a system until the development is completed and the product is launched can be risky. Having a quality system in place sooner rather than later could be a game-changer when it comes time to look for potential partners.

In this program, we will:

  • Learn the GxP compliance requirements and expectations of major healthcare regulators
  • Discuss how smaller companies that may not have deep expertise in QA and GMP/GCP compliance can build a quality system
  • Discuss best practices for managing a regulatory inspection

Panelists:
