4^th Workshop on Recent Issues in Regulated Bioanalysis

In continuation of 2007 - 2009 workshops, the 4^th Workshop on Recent Issues in Regulated Bioanalysis (Montreal April 21-23 2010) will address both new issues and follow-ups on the progress of the resolutions that were agreed upon last year in the field of GLP/Regulated Bioanalysis.

Preliminary 2010 Lectures:

• Updates from Regulatory Agencies: AFSSAPS (France); ANVISA (Brazil); FDA (USA); Health Canada-TPD; MHRA (UK):

• Use of Dried Blood Spots (DBS) in Regulated Bioanalysis: Practical considerations, applicability and progresses.

• Updates in biostatistycal analysis in Bioequivalence/PK studies

• Regulatory indications on Follow-on Biologics/Biosimilars: the latest developments on the regulatory pathway

• Evaluation of internal standard (IS) criteria in bioanalysis.

• Is calibration curve slope still important in LC-MS/MS bioanalysis?

• How to investigate an Incurred Samples Reanalysis (ISR) failure: Real case studies & lessons learnt

• Metabolites quantification: what’s new?

• Updates from 2009 Bioanalytical conferences/groups:

• Follow up on unresolved 2009 Regulated Bioanalysis Workshop discussion topics (described in the 2009 White Paper – in press – Bioanalysis Journal, January 2010)

2 Pre-Workshop short courses have been specifically designed to be offered prior to the workshop to prepare the attendees to fully benefit from this workshop.

• Short Course 1 (half day): Fundamental of Bioanalysis: Bioanalytical Method Validation (BMV) and Sample Analysis for Chromatographic and Ligand Binding Assays.

• Short Course 2 (full day): Regulated Bioanalysis: Challenges Solutions and Applications.

LabAnalyse 2009
‘Prestatie door innovatie. Efficiënter omgaan met uw middelen’

Donderdag 8 oktober 2009 bij Expo Houten in Houten

Van 09.30 – 16.00 uur. Gratis entree

De vijfde editie van LabAnalyse 2009 vindt dit jaar plaats bij Expo Houten in Houten. Aan het evenement wordt invulling gegeven door vooraanstaande sprekers en leveranciers van laboratorium instrumenten en benodigdheden.

Laat u in korte tijd via het veelzijdige lezingenprogramma informeren over innovatieve technologieën in laboratoriumanalyse. Dit gebeurt aan de hand van praktijkvoorbeelden van toepassingen in voeding, chemie, milieu en gezondheid. De onderwerpen variëren van analysemethoden bij residuonderzoek, state-of-the-art technologieën als GCxGC en financieringsmiddelen. Dagvoorzitters zijn hoofdredacteur Vincent Hentzepeter van het Laboratorium Magazine en Prof. Peter Schoenmakers van de UVA. De leveranciers kunt u bezoeken op het beursplein.

EBF - European Bioanalysis Forum
2^nd Open Symposium
“The Broadening Scope of Validation”
Date: 2 - 4 December 2009
Hesperia Tower Conference Center
Barcelona, Spain

After a successful symposium in December 2008, EBF is organising their second Open Symposium. Pharma and Biotech companies, CRO’s, academia, regulatory agencies and instrument vendors are again invited to attend this open symposium.
Again this year, the symposium intends to bring together scientists and key opinion leaders around a variety of important subjects in the world of bioanalysis, both small and large molecules.
The identified topics for this year’s symposium will provide an excellent opportunity for stimulating discussions and work towards recommendations for industry. In addition, both the scientific and the professional networking opportunities will be comparable, if not enhanced, comparing to last year’s meeting.

Maatschappelijk Verantwoorde Bioanalyse - FABIAN 2009 - Socially Sustainable Bioanalysis

Het thema van ons jaarlijkse symposium richt zich op ontwikkelingen binnen de 'life sciences' die leiden tot “Maatschappelijk Verantwoorde Bioanalyse”

Onderwerpen zijn:

• proefdiervriendelijk (kleinere monsters, minder dieren, ...)

• milieubewust (minder solventia, minder transport...)

• vrijwilliger/patient-vriendelijk (kleinere monsters waarop meer testen worden gedaan, minder- of non-invasieve methoden, ...)

Maart 2009 March

After a successful first open symposium in December 2008, EBF is organizing their second Open Symposium. Pharma and Biotech companies, CROs, academia and instrument vendors are invited to attend this open symposium to exchange ideas and information on topical issues of mutual concern in an atmosphere which facilitates the interactive participation of the attendees. This year the symposium will include sessions on the EMEA draft Guidance on Bioanalysis, Validation and Analytical Challenges of non-standard Matrices and/or biomarkers, Unresolved Issues in Method Validations, Analysis of Proteins/Peptides with MS Techniques, Dried Blood Spots, Feedback from internal EBF Discussions (including Recommendations) and Latest Developments and Current Hot Topics in LBAs Assay Development in a program which covers the spectrum from Small to Large Molecules. Experts and world opinion leaders will be invited as keynote speakers.

The European Bioanalysis Forum (EBF) is an organization comprised of (both Global and EU-based) Pharmaceutical companies with operational activities in EU (27 member companies to date). The Membership shares a common vision to advance our understanding of topical concerns through discussion of scientific, technological and regulatory issues of bioanalytical interest.

PharmSciFair
Nice 8-12 June, 2009

A great event in Pharmaceutical Sciences is coming up: the second PharmSciFair.The PharmSciFair is the premier European Platform for Advancing Pharmaceutical Sciences, initiated by EUFEPS. This became absolutely clear during the first PharmSciFair in 2005, where 26 national and international organizations in Pharmaceutical Sciences joined together. More than 700 scientists coming from all pharmaceutical disciplines contributed and set up a truly interdisciplinary meeting (1200 participants) of the highest standard. The meeting was accompanied by a comprehensive exhibition. An even greater number of organizations have committed to the 2009 PharmSciFair. An exciting program has been set up, which promises up-to-date presentations of front line pharmaceutical research and development. All information, including the current partners, is on the PharmSciFair homepage (http://www.pharmscifair.org).
