Geetu Abbi on When to Build a Digital Quality Function

In today's episode I was joined by Geetu Abbi, Head of Digital Quality Assurance at Alkermes. I wanted to speak to Geetu because Digital Quality was not a job title eight to ten years ago, and she has grown into the role from computer systems validation. She moved from software testing into validation at Siemens without a life sciences background, and in 2024 she co-led the GAMP guide for GCP and clinical trials.

We talk about:

- Moving from software testing into validation at Siemens, with no prior exposure to Part 11 or 21 CFR 820

- What Digital Quality is, and the gap it fills between site Quality and clinical Quality

- Data lifecycle mapping, and why validation now has to be revisited with every change

- Delivering seven validated systems in eight months to support the Alkermes-Mural Oncology separation in 2023

- Her advice to the next generation of Quality professionals on why they don't have to solve everything alone

Thank you Geetu for sharing your journey.
