This week, Stacey is joined by Brian Nunnally, Global Head of Quality Control, Seqirus. Stacey and Brian discuss updates and insights on laboratory operations since the pandemic began. COVID has changed nearly every facet of society, and many of the changes will be permanent, not returning to the “old ways.” While we often take comfort in the status quo, this pandemic has allowed us many positives too, including better digital capabilities, and a better understanding of technological implications on drug development.
