I think companies should focus on developing lab models and simulations on most projects. I can be a sucker for animals, but I do understand that it is necessary sometimes. Developing lab models can l...

I agree that labs need to be highly test oriented. Ive learned that even the slightest change in process could completely change the results of the tested product. One of the key factors I forget time...

I do agree with the next step for pre-clinical research before testing on humans is the substitution of animal testing with computer simulations, but in reality I don't think this will be happening an...

I agree that pre-clinical research is a critical safety checkpoint in medical device development as I am sure most would. Using human subjects to immediately test something new without immense knowled...

I think that what the tougher challenge is really depends on the on the complexity of the specific scientific questions that need to be solved, that will vary from study to study. The complexity of th...

From my perspective, the biggest challenge in pre-clinical device development is navigating the organizational and approval process. Scientific questions are of course complex, but researchers are tra...

I agree with how difficult the organizational and approval process is extremely time-consuming since, as stated in the lectures, lawyers take months to sign contracts, and things don't always go as pl...

I agree that pre-clinical work frequently entails a lot of moving parts before the "real science" ever begins, which makes the organizational and approval side seem like a road block. The conflict bet...

You bring up a crucial fact that I’ve learned at length about through courses and practical experience. I’ve learned that catching issues early in a process saves a lot of time and money. More importa...

As you mentioned, projects may not go exactly as planned, especially in medical device projects. A lack of organization can mean that a project fails to pivot quickly enough to address issues, delays,...

To answer the question on what the biggest challenge in teamwork is I would choose people not doing their share of the work. Members of a team disagreeing on ideas is bound to happen and personally I ...

I would say that the biggest obstacle in projects is making sure everyone does their fair share of work. Disagreements can be solved through discussion, and more than likely a solution will arise. Whe...
