21. The Impact of Legal Drug Studies to Our Lives with Jody DeBold of JD Preclinical Solutions
Description
On today's episode of the Legal Drugs Podcast, host, Angela Stoyanovitch, spoke with entrepreneur and consultant, Jody DeBold of JD Preclinical Services. Jody speaks about the importance of building strong relationships with her clients in the early phases of the pharmaceutical process. It is important to Jody to work with strong groups who are focused on providing quality solutions while doing all they can to bring those solutions of value that improve patient care all the way to the marketplace. Jody's passion for helping people is undeniable. You may hear Jody and Angela get a little choked up when we start to think about the impact our industry has on everyone's lives.
Jody's experience has been focused around early phase work which includes pharmacokinetics, histology, immunohistochemistry and pathology. This work involves different studies where animal and/or human tissues are evaluated for toxicity and other potential negative and positive affects a certain drug could have on the eventual patient. Due to gaining knowledge and insight to how drugs make it to marketinside this mysterious industry, Jody has proudly been able to advise her own parents, who have suffered with disease and had to rely on legal drugs for support and treatment. Jody describes the importance of drug drug interaction studies and 24-hour studies, for example, to help doctors figure out the correct dosages for their patients.
This episode was recorded live at the Society of Toxicology annual meeting in Baltimore, MD in March 2019. So please excuse some of the background noise as people walk behind us. Regardless, I hope you can feel the purpose and impact that Jody provides to the human affect of the legal drugs business.
