With the advent of cell and gene therapies, getting those treatments to the right patients at the right time requires both manufacturers and suppliers to offer the most reliable and timely logistics possible.
World Courier, an AmerisourceBergen company, has been in the specialty logistics business for more than half a century. The company was responsible for transporting the first clinical trial medicines related to HIV in the 1980s, and pressed airlines to allow the movement of samples to researchers working on new treatments for AIDS.
