EBF Focus Workshop: New Modalities and Novel Concepts in Bioanalysis

Our first Focus Workshop (FW) of 2018 is dedicated to science. This theme, where we want to share how we bring new ideas into practices, is very broad. We made a strong selection of the cutting-edge science we apply on a daily basis. 

The aim of the FW is to share our experience of how we (need to) grow as a community to add value in a new Pharma R&D reality. Deliver high-quality data/advice using cutting edge technology or processes adding value in a rapidly changing and more global drug R&D environment; new disease areas, changing portfolios, availability of more and more complex (hyphenated) technologies, increased stakeholder interactions, changing regulatory expectations… the bioanalytical scientist needs to excel every day.

At the workshop, we want to engage with all delegates and come to a better understanding of the day-to-day challenges related to 3 novel areas:

1. Challenges of and advancements in Bioanalysis of (oligo)nucleotides and related molecules
2. New analytical challenges for Immunogenicity testing (LC-MS assays for ADA analysis, need for immunogenicity testing for peptides or bispecific Abs, ADCs…)
3. Impact of novel formulations for bioanalysis (liposomal formulations, nanoparticles, pro-drugs, other special delivery devices…)

You are invited to submit an abstract on your oral contribution to [email protected]  before February 15^th, 2018. For detailed instructions, click here or visit the meeting website

MEETING VENUE AND REGISTRATION

The meeting will be held in the ALTIS GRAND HOTEL, Lisbon, Portugal, where we have negotiated special rates. Details can be found on the website.
