Merck Millipore is holding a virtual conference titled "Headache-Free Pharma QC," on the 1st and 2nd April 2015.
The conference will be of particular interest to employees of pharmaceutical quality control (QC) laboratories whose everyday work takes place in a highly regulated environment.
Inspections of QC labs by regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), or the Chinese Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), determine whether activities such as new product testing, daily and overall lab operations, and data collection conform to the industry's cGMP guidelines. Making sure that a QC lab is following the right procedures at all times can be time-consuming and challenging; the "Headache-Free Pharma QC" virtual conference aims to make this process a little easier, with discussions and hints & tips from industry experts.
The virtual conference will open with a special plenary session presented by industry expert, Roland Emerson, Director, Deputy Head EQ-QA Corporate Quality of EMD Serono, Inc. Mr. Emerson's presentation, "The Importance of Health Authority Compliance within the Regulated Industries," will be followed by a Q&A session in which virtual conference participants will be able to ask questions and exchange comments with fellow attendees.
The plenary session will be followed by three webinars focusing on a different aspect of compliance for pharmaceutical QC labs. Each of these presentations will be followed by an interactive Q&A session, providing attendees with the opportunity to consult with the speakers about their own specific research.
