Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Cleanroom Technology

09 October 2019 - 10 October 2019

SMi Group are pleased to announce the Inaugural Pharmaceutical Cleanroom Technology Europe Conference, taking place on the 9th and 10th October 2019 in London, UK. As the first event in Europe that focuses on cleanroom technology in the pharmaceutical industry, the conference will serve to bridge that gap between the two areas while simultaneously providing a unique selling point. This one-of-a-kind meeting will facilitate networking opportunities with key opinion leaders from all areas of pharmaceuticals, biologicals, and cleanroom industry experts to explore hot topics within cleanroom design and engineering, best practices and regulation, environmental and contamination control, and pharmaceutical microbiology. In 2025, the global cleanroom technology market is expected to reach nearly $5 billion. Stringent regulatory standards for product approvals, technological advancements in cleanrooms, initiatives taken by private organisations to create awareness regarding cleanroom and growth of the healthcare sector globally are among the few factors expected to drive the market. Compliance with the standards for product approvals is crucial and as a result manufacturing companies in various industries are dependent on cleanroom technology.

SMi’s 9th Annual Orphan Drugs & Rare Diseases Conference

15 October 2019 - 16 October 2019

SMi Group are proud to announce the 9th Annual Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases Conference, taking place on the 15th and 16th October 2019 in London, UK. The orphan drug market is continuously growing and is expected to reach $176 billion by 2020, with a CGR of 10.5% just for orphan drugs – this is twice the growth rate of the overall prescription drug market (5.3% CGR from 2014-2020). By 2020, orphan drugs are set to account for 19% of global prescription sales. This is due to the arising interest from pharmaceutical companies for underlying benefits, such as the potential discovery of mechanisms for more common diseases, and also the involvement of many smaller biotechnology start-up companies who are primarily focused on rare diseases. The 2019 agenda features various key presentations by leading solution providers, biotechnology companies, clinical researchers, regulatory professionals and charity leaders discussing possible ways to accelerate orphan drug development and access to rare disease patients, including the introduction of recent technologies and products to help aid the access of orphan drugs.

Lyophilisation USA

23 October 2019 - 24 October 2019

The SMi Group is pleased to invite you to the 5th Annual Lyophilization USA Conference arranged to take place on the 23rd and 24th October 2019, in Boston. The current list of FDA-approved biopharmaceuticals contains up to 50% of injectables and approximately a third of all parenterals being lyophilized, which suggests it is the optimal way of ensuring stability in products that are unstable in aqueous solution. This instability or degradation can result in suboptimal product performance and even toxicity in worst cases indicating the need for lyophilization despite it’s inherently expensive running costs and time-consuming process. Join us this year to explore novel and developing technologies that tackle the most pressing challenges and push innovation in world of lyophilization. Benchmark and network with industry leaders and discuss the most up to date and relevant topics that delve into alternative lyophilization approaches, applied statistical modelling, fresh views on scaling up and tech transfer, pre- and post-product characterization. regulation and beyond.

Exploring Human Host-Microbiome Interactions in Health and Disease

23 October 2019 - 25 October 2019

Alterations in microbiome composition have been associated with many non-infectious diseases including inflammatory bowel conditions, autoimmune diseases, cancers and diabetes. The 8th Exploring Human Host-Microbiome Interactions in Health and Disease meeting will bring together leading scientists and clinicians from the fields of microbiology, gastroenterology, neuroscience, and cancer to discuss the latest developments in this fast-moving area. The conference will update current knowledge of how various microbiomes (skin, oral, gut, lung, non-bacterial etc.) communicate with the host and the factors that influence these interactions. The programme will feature new developments enabled by metagenomics, metabonomics and other technologies. Attendees can participate in discussions on how to apply recent discoveries to disease processes, health restoration and maintenance. This year’s meeting will also include sessions on the effects of the microbiome on cancer and how the immune system influences the microbiome and vice versa.
