Personalized Medicine Logistics Planning
Our client needed to a logistics plan for their new immunotherapy personalized medicine approach to follicular Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The planning challenge involved acquiring patient blood or tissue samples using cold-chain logistics to the therapy manufactory. Once the personalized therapeutic was manufactured it had to be cold-chain shipped to oncologists for administration within their office.
