PASG - Research and Innovation in Pharmaceutical Analysis.

Invitation and Call for Poster Abstracts

The theme of this meeting will be Research and Innovation in Pharmaceutical Analysis and latest developments in analytical science. The conference will aim to provide understanding of the EPRSC strategy for supporting innovation and science, novel developments from academia and from our colleagues in pharma research. You will also hear updates from the PASG sub-teams and about New Technologies including where we as an industry stand on their implementation. It promises to be a highly focussed, enjoyable survey of the state of the art, with plenty of time for informal discussion with your peers, and will incorporate a RSC booth on the Monday afternoon.
Please register early.
This symposium is aimed at scientists at all levels and management to help drive the future direction of research and innovation in our field.
At this time we are also inviting abstracts for poster presentations. The presentations can be on any aspect of new analytical science, technology or novel applications of current technology. Please e-mail abstracts to PASG@mmsconferencing.com by 18 September 2008 at the latest.
