AAPS - trends in turbulent times

AAPS 2009 has drawn to a close but over the three days numerous trends and debates emerged, including the strategies CROs are using in the downturn, and we take a look at these in our conference round up.

The pharma industry headed to Los Angeles, California, US this week for the annual AAPS conference but, looking at the show floor, it appeared that fewer people made the trip than last year.

However, there was still plenty of interest for those in attendance, including discussions on the limits of outsourcing and the impact of the historical exclusion of women from clinical trials.

In our audio round up of the show we take a look at these topics and others that emerged during the conference. More news from the event will be published on in-PharmaTechnologist and Outsourcing-Pharma next week.
