With the American region dominating the market for lyophilised pharmaceutical products, growing demand has contributed to a projected rise in investment to reach $4.80 billion by 2020. SMi’s 3rd conference in the successful Lyophilisation series, Lyophilisation & Freeze Drying USA, comes at the perfect time and place on 29th & 30th April 2015 to Iselin, New Jersey, USA.SMi group have worked closely with a leading panel of experts such as Genentech, GSK, MedImmune, Merck, Genzyme, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Genzyme and Novo Nordisk, to create an agenda that will provide unique insight into topics such as lyophilisation and freeze drying developments, QbD, process analytical techniques & strategies, plus much more!Join us as we ask questions such as: What parameters should be reviewed to optimise the lyophilisation process? How can we enable shorter cycle times for cost efficient processing of lyophilised formulations? What are the challenges of applying a QbD approach to a process with a dynamic risk profile? What measurement techniques are utilised to check when the freeze drying process is complete?KEY SPEAKERS INCLUDE:Swapnil Pansare, Associate Scientist – I, Formulation Sciences, MedImmuneAkhilesh Bhambhani, Principal Scientist, Novel Adjuvants, Formulations and Delivery Technologies, Merck & Co.
