  CLIC Workshop Series 2026 # 2

  Topic on Regulatory Affairs and Business Development 

  Trainer: Dr. Marisela Rodriguez

  Early-stage drug and platform innovators often have a clear vision yet struggle to transform their ideas into cohesive development roadmaps. We offer short, facilitated sprints that help teams build their strategy and Target Product Profile (TPP) / Platform Target Profile (PTP), resolving two key bottlenecks that stall early-stage programs: unclear choices and product characteristics. Teams leave empowered to move past early friction points and execute without added complexity.
