Biotechnology companies can spend millions of dollars developing experimental treatments and products, money basically thrown out the window if not in compliance with FDA rules. New FDA guidelines, regulations and interpretations emerge constantly from the agency that controls almost a third of the US economy. Keeping up with these changes is a constant challenge. Join CfPA each quarter for the latest FDA guidelines focused on the biologics/biotechnology industry– 90 minutes with an expert who can help you assimilate the information and answer your questions.
This course is designed for professionals primarily in the biologics/biotechnology industry. However, interested parties in the pharmaceutical and medical device fields will also benefit from this update. It will be especially beneficial to:
• Regulatory/QA Managers
• Directors and VPs
