- Back up plans and parameters put in place to deal with natural disasters
- Hurdles in obtaining, shipping and testing lab samples in emerging markets
In the podcast Rob Danziger said: "The trend that we are starting to see with some of the major Pharmas is they are going to a single sole source longer contract and time will tell if these asset purchases work.
"It may make good sense from a business perspective but it is really providing the best lab options and the best science options to support development of those drugs."
Jody Fleisig of ICON Central Laboratories also commented: "One of the major benefits to working with the preferred provider relationship or a strategic relationship is it allows standardization and measurement."
