SMi Reports: The agenda and speaker line-up for the upcoming Pharmaceutical Microbiology East Coast Conference, which will convene as a virtual conference on April 28th and 29th, 2021 has been released.
Biologic products require diligent microbial control because of their complex and sometimes growth-promoting manufacturing processes, and high-risk patient populations. The increase in complexity of pharmaceutical products, rise in development of biologics and increasingly stringent regulations for biologics are some of the factors that are driving the growth of the pharmaceutical microbiology market for biopharmaceutical products.
SMi Group invites all microbiologists to join 4th Annual Pharmaceutical Microbiology East Coast Virtual Conference to discuss Contamination Control Strategies, Effective Environmental Monitoring, and the newest schools of thought in personnel operation. Expert leaders in regulation and compliance will provide expert viewpoints on how to implement and interpret the regulation, in addition, Annex 1 will be assessed and debated.
