Past event: Pharmaceutical Microbiology 2016 Conference

This event is about the developments in the field of pharmaceutical Microbiology. Pharmaceutical microbiology is crucial to the manufacture and production of drugs, biologics and devices. Without a strong understanding of the process from case studies and learning from mistakes it can be incredibly costly.

Set to take place in Central London on the 20th-21st January 2016 the 5th annual pharmaceutical biology will once again be bringing together industry leaders and key figures in the field to discuss and develop a greater understanding of  key issues and regulations.

Join us to explore developments in mechanisms to detect pathogens, case studies on contaminations, endotoxin detection and LER, case studies in pharmaceutical microbiology, regulatory changes and VBNC's.


Benefits of Attending

  • Discover the latest developments in detection mechanisms
  • Benefit from learning about case studies on clean room management and worst case scenarios
  • Understand the importance of VBNC's and develop an understanding of detection mechanisms.
  • Discuss biofilm formations and how to deal with them
  • Learn about endotoxins and there detection with exciting IP releases being discussed
  • Hear advice on contamination control and risk assessment to avoid the same mistakes and provide safe guards
