TechTalk: Crucial Starting Material Considerations for NAM Success
Friday, September 25 at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT
With industry and regulatory leaders placing greater emphasis on New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), researchers need starting materials that support human relevance, reproducibility, and confidence from the outset.
In this 20-minute SelectScience® TechTalk, Dr. Courtney Noah, Vice President of Scientific Affairs at BioIVT, will explore how ethically sourced and well-characterized human specimens can influence the success of NAM development.
The session will examine how donor variability, fit-for-purpose quality control, standardization, and documentation can help researchers generate more reliable nonclinical data and de-risk NAM workflows from the start.
