“Top scientists in industrial microbiology and contamination control will be showcasing the latest capacities for particle monitoring, sanitizer utilization, and bacteria detection in facilities. Experts in compliant manufacturing will give insight into the regulation and the best strategies for current good manufacturing practice.”

“These critical principles will be discussed alongside some of the newest schools of thought in the industry: such as the move to in-process release testing, in addition to the crucial consideration of integrating sustainability into operations.”

“Our women in science panel discussion will be breaking-down the essential aspects of growing successful women microbiologists, and our workshop will address the important field of data integrity: leading our delegates through the key causes and solutions in best data practice for environmental monitoring.”
This event will bring together microbiology experts to discuss novel approaches and best practices for tackling current industry contamination control challenges. Microbes such as bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses that can contaminate current and novel pharmaceutical products or therapies may stem from various sources such as raw materials and human operators, are taken into consideration.
