SAE is proud to present the 11th Annual Pharmaceutical Microbiology UK Conference in January. Microbiology is an essential tool for the detection of microorganisms present in biopharmaceutical and drug product manufacture. The field of pharmaceutical microbiology has seen a rapid growth in recent years, this has been in part due to the introduction of alternative, rapid microbiological methods, and the application of automated approaches to microbiology. Together these have provided faster, clearer, and superior data, significantly improving the operational efficiency of laboratories. Alongside these new technologies ever changing regulations such as the impending release of Annex 1 and a globalised aseptic world have meant that the industry is having to re-think many of the most basic principles. This conference will explore the most pressing topics in this thriving field, from the movement toward process automation and reduction in operator-product interaction, to the latest technologies in rapid microbiological testing methods and data integrity. The agenda will highlight insightful case studies across these themes, uncovering key developments and the future of pharmaceutical microbiology. This two-day agenda offers you peer-to-peer networking with industry experts and representatives from leading pharmaceutical companies and is the perfect opportunity to maximise the impact of your microbiology labs.
