15th Anniversary Congress of the EAHP

Nice

Description  

The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists is pleased to announce the 15th Anniversary Congress of the EAHP to take place in Nice, France from 24-26 March 2010. The main theme of the congress is ‘Focus on pharmacotherapy – hospital pharmacists advancing patient care’, a promising subject every hospital pharmacist should feel concerned about. As in previous congresses, the programme will feature a variety of other timely cutting-edge topics, which has led to the EAHP congress being recognised as one of the worldwide premier educational events for hospital pharmacists during the spring of each year.

EMA Draft Guideline on Validation of Bioanalytical Methods

Brussels

Description  

On April 15th and 16th 2010, a joint workshop will take place in the Sheraton Hotel Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, on “EMA Draft Guideline on Validation of Bioanalytical Methods”. The workshop is organized by the European Bioanalysis Forum (EBF) and the European Federation for Pharmaceutical Sciences (EUFEPS). The aim of this workshop is to discuss the current scientific knowledge in the area of bioanalysis, the regulatory requirements and their subsequent translation into the work in the bioanalytical laboratory. Examples of topics to be discussed include the GLP status of the process of method validation; acceptance criteria of methods to be used in the area of chromatography-based and ligand-binding based assays; sample reproducibility (ISR; study sample reanalysis for PK purposes; and re-integration, to list only a few). Each one of the four forum discussion sessions (“General Aspects on Validation of Bioanalytical Methods”, “Method Validation of Chromatography Based Assays (Small Molecules)”, “Method Validation of Assays for Ligand Binding Based Assays (Large Molecules)” and “Analysis of Study Samples”), will be co-chaired by one representative of EBF, EMA and EUFEPS, and will start with a thirty-minute background presentation on the chapter topics to be discussed. The workshop is organized as an open plenary discussion forum to meet the requirements and expectations of professionals from the generic and the research based industry, CROs, academia and regulatory agencies. Department heads, project managers, bioanalytical scientists and consultants in R&D, in regulatory affairs, pharmacokinetics, clinical studies, and biostatistics and so forth should attend in order to share their experiences with the scientists from European regulatory agencies. All delegates are invited to contribute actively to the scientific discussions and to support the process toward science driven regulations. Scientists from industry and academia, managers and representatives of company regulatory functions will have a valuable opportunity to discuss the new regulations with representatives from regulatory authorities in Europe. Abstracts of no more than 200 words can be submitted by March 22, 2010 to the Organising Committee at: eufeps@congrex.com indicating the name of the workshop (EBF & EUFEPS Workshop on EMA Draft Guideline on Validation of Bioanalytical Methods).
