IFPAC

IFPAC has issued a Call for Papers for its twentieth annual conference and exhibition, to be held February 20-23, 2006 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Va.

The forum will focus on the latest developments in Process Analytical Technology (PAT). Organizers say the forum’s theme, “Living in Interesting Times,” illustrates the opportunities and challenges confronting both manufacturers and users of pharmaceutical technology. Abstracts are being solicited on a broad range of topics, including instrumentation, software, standards, and future PAT trends.

This year’s IFPAC board will be co-chaired by Chris Watts of the FDA’s CDER; the board includes Rick E. Cooley of Dionex, Steve Doherty from Eli Lilly, Gert Thurau of Merck, and Steve Hammond of Pfizer.

The deadline for submissions is Monday, September 19, 2005. Abstracts may be submitted electronically at www.ifpac.com.
