The development of therapies brings challenges at every stage: from early research to patient access. As a centre of expertise, FAST supports the acceleration of sustainable and accessible innovative treatments for all patients. FAST offers independent advice and collaborates within the broad landscape of therapy development. FAST provides support in various ways. Both for individual cases and by identifying bottlenecks in the wider field and finding the right solutions. For example, FAST helps connect you with network contacts to unlock expertise and answers questions about possible access routes to patients.
