1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.150
Foo. So we really just wanted
to bring a new, more modern form
2
00:00:07.190 --> 00:00:10.710
to help tell some of these stories
and share some lessons learned with folks,
3
00:00:11.029 --> 00:00:14.550
and really our hope here is that
we're going to be able to, through
4
00:00:14.630 --> 00:00:18.309
these podcasts, help people, help
companies that are going through a lot of
5
00:00:18.390 --> 00:00:28.780
these same challenges that we see every
day. Welcome to life sciences accelerated,
6
00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:35.219
a podcast where we discuss experiences and
groundbreaking innovations in compliance and technology, from
7
00:00:35.259 --> 00:00:40.450
molecule to market. Tune in for
in depth interviews with wellknown thought leaders and
8
00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:46.890
renown subject matter experts with unparalleled knowledge
in the technology and life sciences industry.
9
00:00:47.289 --> 00:00:57.119
Innovative, helpful and thought provoking.
This is life sciences accelerated. Welcome to
10
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:03.359
the introductory episode of life sciences accelerated, a new podcast by USDM life sciences.
11
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.030
We're here today with Ryan Carmel,
marketing director at USDM and the host
12
00:01:07.109 --> 00:01:11.390
of the show. How's it going
today, Ryan, Hey Kelsey, going
13
00:01:11.549 --> 00:01:15.390
great. How are you? I'm
doing really well. Excited to hear about
14
00:01:15.510 --> 00:01:21.219
this podcast and what it's going to
bring. Yeah, I'm really looking forward
15
00:01:21.219 --> 00:01:23.140
to our new show. You know, we been doing more of your traditional
16
00:01:23.379 --> 00:01:27.819
webinars on a wide range of life
sciences topics for four years now really,
17
00:01:27.900 --> 00:01:32.379
and this really is, I think, an opportunity for us to take our
18
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:38.010
content and our thought leaders really to
the next level absolutely, and to give
19
00:01:38.049 --> 00:01:41.530
everyone a bit more context. My
name is Kelsey, course, I'm one
20
00:01:41.530 --> 00:01:44.810
of the producers of the show and
today we'll be talking about what you,
21
00:01:44.969 --> 00:01:48.680
the listener, can expect from this
podcast. But before we jumped into that,
22
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.079
Ryan, tell me a little bit
more about yourself. Yeah, so
23
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.920
I've been in the life sciences industry
now for about seven years. I am
24
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.640
one of the marketing directors here at
US DM life sciences and before life sciences,
25
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.590
I was actually a television news journalist, believe it or not. So
26
00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:08.349
my hope here for this podcast is
to really bring those two worlds together and
27
00:02:08.469 --> 00:02:15.069
provide interesting, I think, relevant
and even educational content everybody that's interested in
28
00:02:15.509 --> 00:02:20.340
the life sciences industry. So you've
touched a little bit about us dm,
29
00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:23.539
but tell me more about them and
why you guys wanted to start this podcast.
30
00:02:24.180 --> 00:02:28.900
So at US DM we've been working
with life sciences companies for over twenty
31
00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:34.330
years really to help solve, help
them solve their technology and compliance challenges and
32
00:02:34.409 --> 00:02:37.689
I know there's a lot of consulting
firms out there, but none really are
33
00:02:37.729 --> 00:02:43.849
as experienced with regulated industries and we've
got the depth of regulatory and FDA expertise
34
00:02:44.250 --> 00:02:47.520
the need for innovation from many companies. It's happening really fast right now,
35
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:53.879
especially with covid nineteen. You have
more remote workers, obviously, and that's
36
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.949
just one component to this. But
our specialty really is helping these heavily regulated
37
00:02:58.949 --> 00:03:02.509
businesses with those unique sets of challenges
that they have and really in our twenty
38
00:03:02.550 --> 00:03:07.430
years we've created a ton of great
content. We have well established thought leaders.
39
00:03:07.669 --> 00:03:12.939
Some of them are direct from those
regulated bodies like the FDA, for
40
00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:15.500
example, and they've spent decades doing
this stuff. It's so we really have
41
00:03:15.659 --> 00:03:21.819
become that trusted advisor, I think, to those many regulated pharmaceutical, medical
42
00:03:21.860 --> 00:03:29.009
device biotech firms and even more recently
we're helping cannabis manufacturers as well with with
43
00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:32.530
similar challenges. So we hear all
sorts of stories about their business challenges and
44
00:03:32.610 --> 00:03:37.729
then, more recently, these immediate
needs that they have to really fast track
45
00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:42.120
their digital transformation efforts. Of course
that a lot of this again tied to
46
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.240
the to Covid nineteen and these new
challenges that many of these companies are facing.
47
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.520
So we really just wanted to bring
a new, more modern form to
48
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.879
help tell some of these stories and
share some lessons learned with folks and really
49
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.710
our hope here is that we're going
to be able to, through these podcasts,
50
00:03:58.389 --> 00:04:00.990
help people, help companies that are
going through a lot of these same
51
00:04:00.030 --> 00:04:04.509
challenges that we see every day.
I find it so interesting that you bring
52
00:04:04.590 --> 00:04:11.379
up how quickly things need to change. Specifically said fast track. I cannot
53
00:04:11.419 --> 00:04:15.740
agree with that more. I was
recently down in Texas and most of the
54
00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:20.420
GIN and alcohol distilleries have switched over
to hand sanitizer and I feel like that
55
00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:24.730
really hits the nail on the head
with what you were just talking about how
56
00:04:24.810 --> 00:04:29.529
quickly people needed to change. Yeah, it's amazing and we've actually helped some
57
00:04:29.649 --> 00:04:31.129
of those companies that are new to
all of this right. Yeah, you
58
00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:34.970
have a company that's that, no
doubt. I mean producing alcohol, for
59
00:04:35.089 --> 00:04:40.680
example, for consumption, is definitely
a regulated industry. To it's different,
60
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.000
very different than, you know,
medical device pharmaceutical. So those companies,
61
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.959
you know, they had to conform
to a whole new sets of regulations.
62
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:54.430
So, yeah, it's just amazing
and that to your point. It definitely
63
00:04:55.149 --> 00:05:00.389
is just another example of how quickly
things are changing, and I think that's
64
00:05:00.389 --> 00:05:04.069
what makes us DM so unique.
We are really able to dive into these
65
00:05:04.110 --> 00:05:08.540
companies and we've been there, done
that so many times over that we can
66
00:05:08.939 --> 00:05:11.740
really, I think, offer a
lot to these companies, even, like
67
00:05:11.899 --> 00:05:15.939
you said, those alcohol manufacturers that
are doing something different now. Absolutely,
68
00:05:15.019 --> 00:05:19.699
and I feel like you guys have
the background knowledge to really hit the ground
69
00:05:19.699 --> 00:05:24.209
running. And, speaking of that
knowledge, as listeners are tuning in,
70
00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:28.529
what can they expect in each episode? Yeah, so we have a number
71
00:05:28.529 --> 00:05:30.569
of subject matter ex words that I
mentioned earlier. You're going to hear from
72
00:05:30.569 --> 00:05:34.959
many of them. Many used to
work for places like the FDA, some,
73
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.600
in fact, of actually helped write
some of those regulations that companies are
74
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.120
basically faced with complying with today.
So we have technology groups as well.
75
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.149
They have decades of experience in the
industry to more of the that the it
76
00:05:49.670 --> 00:05:53.230
side of the business, as opposed
to that, you know, the quality
77
00:05:53.310 --> 00:05:56.910
and regulatory side. So I think
we really are able to bring those,
78
00:05:56.949 --> 00:06:00.389
those two sides together. You know, you have the quality, the regulatory
79
00:06:00.470 --> 00:06:01.790
folks on one side of the House
and then you have you more of your
80
00:06:02.069 --> 00:06:08.060
your it technology gurus. So we
definitely represent all of those areas. So
81
00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:12.699
our intention really is to share tips, suggestions, lessons learned, even some
82
00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:17.730
case studies from our collective experience helping
companies really accelerate their growth or bring products
83
00:06:17.769 --> 00:06:23.370
to market. I think it really
is the first hand stories about common and
84
00:06:23.410 --> 00:06:26.930
industry challenges that are that our audience, I think, is going to find
85
00:06:26.970 --> 00:06:30.769
the most valuable. Absolutely. I
also think that even the case studies are
86
00:06:30.810 --> 00:06:35.680
going to really help. resignate,
as your audience is tuning in and if
87
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:40.600
a listener wants to connect with you, in case they have ideas for episodes,
88
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.199
topics or even guests that you should
feature on the show, what's the
89
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.189
