Today, life sciences companies are exploring expanded opportunities created by advances in genetics knowledge, research design, computer modeling, big data analytics, mobile devices and apps, global communications, personal communications, cloud-based processing and storage and other technologies. Those opportunities raise new types and levels of risk through increased complexity of products and product delivery systems, as well as expanded regulation, compliance enforcement and litigation.
