ABSTRACT: Many sectors, including the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, continue to be challenged by the current economy. With the current and ongoing trend of engaging contract laboratories for chemistry research and manufacturing, the unemployment rate among those engaged in life-sciences companies continues to be disproportionate to the national average. Through development of skills such as managing CRO activities, leveraging services for resources, networking and marketing, motivated contributors can create opportunities leading to the development of successful consulting practices.
Organic chemistry is a discipline impacting every aspect of society. Examples are prevalent in the pharmaceutical and food industries, fossil and synthetic fuels, plastics, paints and textiles - to name a few. Furthermore, organic chemistry is required coursework for numerous undergraduate programs. Through this blog, ideas focused on education, industry and general organic chemistry will be discussed.

Successful Chemistry Outsourcing for Today's Startup Companies
San Francisco American Chemical Society Meeting
Tuesday, August 12, 2014
DIVISION: SCHB: Division of Small Chemical Businesses
SESSION: Start-Up Chemical Businesses in Drug Discovery
SESSION START TIME: August 12, 2014, 1:00 pm
PRESENTATION START TIME: 4:20 pm
LOCATION: Moscone Center, South Bldg., Room: Esplanade Ballroom 301
ABSTRACT: Chemistry outsourcing has evolved from a tool to supplement internal activities to a necessary function designed to improve efficiencies and control costs within research and development organizations. This is particularly relevant to start-up pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. However, realizing successful outcomes following engagement of CRO/CMO resources can be challenging - especially when working across large distances and without the ability to frequently monitor day-to-day activities. Through adoption of key strategies, efficiencies with CRO/CMO resources can be increased thus maximizing chances for successful project outcomes.
