The Road to the Biologic IND
United States - MA - Cambridge

Hosted by: Janssen Labs and the Boston Innovation Center
Venue: Johnson & Johnson Boston Innovation Center | One Cambridge Center
Dates: Nov 14, 2013 through Nov 14, 2013

Early Registration Deadline: 2013-11-13
 
Description
 
Janssen Labs and the Boston Innovation Center invite you to an in-depth look into the process of filing a biologic Investigational New Drug (IND) application and the procedures necessary for advancing your company’s early-stage drug development program. Whether your goal is to develop a pipeline through commercial launch, or partner as early as possible, submitting an IND is a critical early milestone for every biotech company. With big Pharma and VC firms competing for the most promising compounds, startups are expected to demonstrate a solid plan for achieving IND acceptance.
Join us for a presentation exploring the basic requirements and considerations that you need to be aware of when planning for a successful biologic IND submission. The presentation will highlight the following:
- Key components of the chemistry/manufacturing/controls section
- Expression, purification, analytics, formulation, fill/finish
- Preclinical study design, species selection, material requirements, and timelines
- Regulatory requirements, strategies to minimize costs and timelines while balancing risk

Speakers:
Barry Springer, Vice President of Technology, Strategy & Operations at Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson and Johnson
Steven Lang, Ph.D., MBA, Director, Biologics Research J&J Biotechnology Center of Excellence
Timothy Coogan, Vice President, Biologics Toxicology, Janssen R&D
Robert G. Burford, Ph.D., Managing Director, American Clinical and Regulatory Consultants LLC
