Dr. Ray will highlight critical new importance of pharmacovigilance and risk management for successful drug development. He will provide some insights on the new opportunities for high performance in pharmacovigilance, with cutting-edge examples of innovation in pharmacovigilance, and elaboration on the new globalization of pharmacovigilance standards.
