10.go to top of page[ID=160489]Advances in pharmaceutical laboratory efficiency
16 Oct 2008; London, United Kingdom

abstract: The Quality Control Laboratory, in both the R & D and Operations environment, is a key element of the supply chain and has a particularly significant impact on lead times, affecting speed of drug development and overall site manufacturing performance.

As the UK pharmaceutical industry faces ever-increasing competition from abroad, the enhancement of laboratory productivity to improve the product-process development cycle and manufacturing efficiency has become even more crucial for the long-term viability of UK-based sites.

This symposium will review advances in laboratory efficiency which, both individually and collectively, are designed to achieve these outcomes, through the adoption of process-based improvement tools, automation and integrated data handling within the laboratory.

topics: Operational improvement in a high volume solid laboratory dose QC, Finite capacity scheduling in the QC laboratory, Six-Sigma impact in the laboratory environment in 3M, Rapid microbiological methods, Overview of medium throughput automation, Central data repositories for improved data analysis and decision making, Electronic note books and integration to LIMS

22 Oct 2008 → 24 Oct 2008; London, United Kingdom
organizer: Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB)

abstract: Bio-International 2008 aims to develop a common approach for tackling complex issues such as Bioequivalence/interchangeability of Cytotoxic Drug Products, Topical Drug Products and Respiratory Drug Products. The use of Comparator Drug Products for establishing Bioequivalence is a burning issue in the assessment of Multisource Drug Products quality and will be discussed along with application of Biopharmaceutics Classification System in assessing Bioequivalence of oral products. There will also be a special session highlighting BE issues in many countries and how these issues can be resolved with the experience gained with similar issues in other parts of the world. The format of Bio-International 2008 will include plenary presentations by leading international experts, panel discussions and questions from delegates for response by speakers.

The conference is designed to follow the pre-satellite FIP/SIG workshop Special dosage forms – What’s new with in vitro drug release? (20-21 October, RPSGB, London). Delegates at this conference are invited to sign-up for both events for a discounted combined fee.

15 Dec 2008 → 17 Dec 2008; Robinson College, Cambridge, United Kingdom
organizer: Biochemical Society

abstract: All cells contain a diverse range of repair pathways that have evolved to optimize their survival following damage to their DNA. These pathways involve the actions of a large number of DNA repair proteins to remove the damage and maintain genome stability. Clearly, when these processes do not function correctly, a likely result will be instability of the genome. A large body of experimental data has demonstrated that such genetic instability can cause a wide variety of human diseases. This meeting will highlight recent major advances in understanding biochemical details about how DNA repair intersects with cellular pathways that lead to cancer or ageing. The meeting is particularly timely since it is now apparent that these biochemical processes offer significant potential for novel therapies to treat diseases such as cancer.
