Fireside Chat: From discovery to clinic: Building translational infrastructure within emerging biotechs

Building robust translational infrastructure is critical for emerging biotechs aiming to accelerate therapeutic development. This session examines strategies to integrate discovery with clinical development, optimize resource allocation, and overcome operational bottlenecks while preparing for early human trials. 

Key Takeaways:  

• Align early discovery programs with clinical development priorities 

• Structure preclinical, analytical, and regulatory capabilities for first-in-human studies 

• Optimize resource allocation to overcome operational constraints 

• Implement frameworks to streamline translational workflows and data integration 

• Learn strategies to accelerate early-stage therapeutic development efficiently
