In this episode of From Lab To Launch, Meg is joined by Dr. Les Enterline, Senior VP and Global Head of Functional Service Partnerships at PPD, part of Thermo Fisher Scientific.
With decades of experience across clinical research, Les is helping redefine how biopharma companies structure and scale their development teams through what’s known as the FSP model: a flexible outsourcing approach that’s gaining traction as sponsors face increasing pressure to deliver trials faster, more efficiently, and with more adaptive designs.
As clinical complexity grows and internal teams get stretched thin, FSPs are helping organizations scale specialized expertise while maintaining oversight, quality, and operational control. Under Les’ leadership, PPD has become one of the industry leaders in offering hybrid and fit-for-purpose models that blend the best of traditional CRO services with strategic resourcing.
In today’s conversation, we’ll explore how functional partnerships are evolving, how sponsors are rethinking outsourcing to meet modern challenges, and where the future of trial delivery is headed.
