As a biotech professional, how do you know that the questions you ask ‘experts’ are accurate?
Is the answer based on explicit regulations? Or is it based on personal opinion, which has been formed by historical organisational practise?
In this episode, Greg Furrow, Chief Quality Officer of Mustang Bio, discusses his mission to raise awareness around the importance of industry ‘experts’ providing accurate and evidence-based information, rather than relying solely on personal experience or company practice.
As a recognised ‘expert’ himself, Greg talks about organisations and individuals giving disclaimers about their opinions. He encourages both experts and learners to prioritize understanding compliance and to seek the facts rather than blindly trusting opinions. We discuss the following:
- The Importance of Understanding Compliance
- The Risk of Mistakes and Misinformation
- Clear Regulations in the Biotech Industry
- Answering Compliance Questions in ATMP’s
- The Goal of Understanding Compliance
- Obligations of Leaders in Answering Questions
- Advice for Future Quality Assurance Professionals
- What Inspires Greg in his Career.
Huge thanks to Greg for sharing his views and raising awareness around this important matter. Greg is on a mission to move away from giving subjective personal opinions based on organisational practises – towards a compliance framework anchored in explicit regulations and guidance documents.
