Hear from Phil Duncanson, Director of QC & Microbiology at MedImmune at Pharmaceutical Microbiology

LONDON - Dec. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- SMi is proud to announce that Phil Duncanson, Director of QC & Microbiology at MedImmune will provide a keynote presentation on: Mould Contamination in Pharmaceutical Drug Products at the 4th annual Pharmaceutical Microbiology conference, taking place next month in London, UK.

When asked what attendees would take away from his talk he said: "They will benefit from my experiences trying to diagnose the source of mould in a clean room facility. They will have a fresh perspective on what it takes to remediate a facility with mould recovery issues"

On what he believed the most interested topics were for next year he commented: "There is a lot of noise in microbiology right now around stressed microorganisms; how to stress them and when to use them, so I’m very interested in the stressed and objectionable organism’s session. I’m also interested in the risk assessment presentation from Tim Eaton as applying patient risk to aseptic manufacturing can be a complex subject."
