Breaking into conversational groups is one of the things people ask me about when I'm conducting networking sessions. Th

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

Let's face it, looking at a room full of people you don't know can be intimidating. At firs

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

true. The only difference between you and all those others is that they have been in the room five minutes longer tha

Following aspects would a

A common mistake of neophyte networkers is to concentrate on picking

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

Someone will invariably notice you and invite you in. If someone happens to be speaking at the time, say something l

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

If you use these ideas, you'll find it's not so hard to become part of that happy, noisy crowd
