“Biospecimen procurement: mission impossible or a piece of cake,” Daria Tomilina, Business Development Manager of BIOMEDICA CRO, shares lifehacks.
Being a procurement manager is a challenging job. You have to manage numerous stakeholders, multiple tasks, and strict timelines and always try to balance costs vs. quality.
Satisfying internal customers may be an essential but nearly impossible mission. So, you’ll need a reliable sample provider who can make your life easier rather than create additional complications.
Scientists and researchers are creative, and result-oriented professionals, but their needs in samples and project requirements may change over time. Usually, those changes appear on short notice, sometimes even after Project Order has been finalized, and the supplier has started biospecimen collection. Once your biospecimen partner is outsourcing sample collection, it may be pretty difficult for them to react.
In the constantly changing environment, the only thing that procurement manager knows for sure is the need to face new inputs. In such circumstances, your counterpart on the supplier side should be highly professional and have direct contact with the person responsible for biospecimen procurement. Few biospecimen companies may offer such a privilege as the opportunity to speak to Primary Investigator directly.
What does BIOMEDICA CRO propose to make the procurement of biospecimens process easier?
BIOMEDICA CRO continuously collects various samples on its own and ensures a direct connection between the scientist’s need and sample collection in the hospital. We know the processing standards and propose optimal collection protocols, which may finally positively impact the study results. Our competitive advantage is the high level of flexibility and willingness to react quickly to changing customers’ needs.
We aim to make the life of procurement managers easier as well as provide the most tailored solution for your projects and improve overall study outcomes. In the long run, we are here to help scientists to fight cancer and other diseases, so doing our best so you may reach your research goals!
