How to successfully implement Quality by Design to create a formulation process

LONDON - Jan. 31, 2014 - PRLog -- SMi Group invites you to attend the 2nd annual Quality by Design conference (http://www.smi-online.co.uk/goto/2014qbd-conference.asp?emref=P-092EL410000023&amp) , taking place on the 24th and 25th of February 2014 in London. Attend this conference and learn how to successfully implement Quality by Design to create a formulation process, with an introduction to QbD and PAT by Mr Peter Boogaard, Founder, Industrial Lab Automation.

This presentation is an introduction to the key components of QbD which are crucial for any individual look into to implement QbD in their business. Adoption of an integrated Product Quality Lifecycle Process facilitates innovation, continual improvement and strengthens the link between pharmaceutical development and manufacturing activities.

• Introduction to QbD concept and update on ICH Q10 and QbD Pharmaceutical Quality Systems guideline
• Overview of PAT technologies and industry examples in both development and manufacturing
• Introductory overview of Product Quality Lifecycle Implementation (PQLI) and Introduction to the 4 Product Quality System elements (PQS)

This conference will bring together both academia and industry experts to provide you in-depth knowledge about several topics such as:

Advanced Systems in Quality by Design Processes
QbD in biotherapeutics and formulation development
Continuous process development and QbD
Analytical method development
