Description

Nithya shares what she's learned from years in CDMO business development and technical operations. From the post-pandemic CDMO boom to today's "minimum viable process" reality, she breaks down why small biotechs struggle with tech transfer documentation.

Key insights:

  • Why PowerPoint presentations aren't tech transfer documentation (and CDMOs are saying no)
  • The mindset shift from academic protocols to manufacturing SOPs
  • How engineering runs become make-or-break decisions for cash-strapped biotechs
  • Why treating R&D as a scale-down model of manufacturing changes everything
  • The hidden costs of not thinking like a product manager from day one

Nithya explains the communication breakdowns between brilliant scientists and manufacturing experts - and what it takes to bridge that gap successfully.

Perfect for biotech founders, process development teams, and anyone navigating the transition from discovery to manufacturing.
