Agenda released for the highly anticipated 7th annual Pharmaceutical Microbiology event: Join, Merial SAS, Pfizer, GSK, Sanofi and more

SMi proudly presents the return of the 7th annual Pharmaceutical Microbiology conference and exhibition to Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London on 22 - 23 January 2018

The microbiology market has significantly grown in recent years as the demand from end user industries increases. Recent years have seen extraordinary advances in the technologies available to study microbial biology. The development of new techniques to probe individual cells and molecules is a major driver of scientific advance. This topic will be addressed throughout the 'Sterility Assurance and Rapid Microbial Methods' section of day two. The presentations will aim to cover and showcase several new advanced techniques that have been successfully applied to microbiology and have diverse applications which we know will attract a broad audience across all disciplines.

The 2018 meeting of minds will once again provide the perfect forum to discuss new advancements and showcase the latest innovations to keep you at the forefront of a dynamic and rapidly evolving market and will include presentations from both regulatory and industry experts sharing recent case studies and developing trends in the field of pharmaceutical microbiology.
The 2018 agenda will focus on the complex challenge that the field is facing such as endotoxin testing, best practices in cleaning & disinfection, contamination control case studies and rapid microbial-detection methods.
