Pharma’s Almanac recently asked Cambrex’s Matt Bio, Chief Scientific Officer, how he viewed the current investment trends in the pharmaceutical industry and their influence on the sector’s direction. Here is his response:

“The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly investing in new and diverse modalities to selectively engage therapeutic targets. Heterobifunctional protein degraders, peptides, oligomers, and polymers are examples of the complex synthetic modalities now routinely being developed as new drug candidates. In addition to new modalities, traditional small molecules are becoming increasingly complex. These shifts in the type and complexity of chemical matter in drug development require that CDMOs invest in development and manufacturing capabilities to meet the demands of these investigational new drugs. CDMOs will require a highly skilled workforce able to identify and proactively develop the capabilities for these new modalities. A collaborative partnership between innovator and CDMO, where both parties share in the risk of commercializing new technologies, will facilitate success.”
