Build Vs. Buy: When To Outsource Protein Biologics Development And Manufacturing

Drug development and manufacturing tasks are complex, and pharmaceutical companies often prefer to keep the process entirely in-house. But doing this is not always the best solution, and even the largest of developers are faced with a lack of internal resources to help bring a product to market timely. In these instances, companies have two options: making/building additional resources in-house or outsourcing to a contract development manufacturing organization (CDMO) with expertise in process development and manufacturing. While this is not a new scenario for the life sciences industry, the factors around how companies should decide when to reach out to a CDMO change each year and have become even more complex thanks to the global supply chain shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
