This 90-minute webinar will cover the basic principles of pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics and will discuss in detail the steps behind implementing a clinical pharmacotenomic testing service. Why Should You Attend: The FDA's Center for Drug Education and Research has relabeled many drugs recommending pharmacogenomic testing. In other cases, the FDA has issued "black box" warnings cautioning doctors that there are genetic variances that effect safety profile for drugs such as codeine and clopidogrel. These FDA mandates have driven the adoption of pharmacogenomic testing into clinical practice to date. Pharmacogenomic laboratory tests are available for these drugs.Adverse events caused by these…

All pharmaceutical, biologics, and medical device facilities are likely to have high purity water systems. In spite of this purity, microorganisms can flourish within these systems and lead to undesirable contamination of facility processes and their products. Of all the individuals at the facility who should understand the microorganisms in water systems and how best to monitor and control and them, it should be the site’s microbiologists. Sadly, this is often not the case due to the lack of familiarity with biofilm and its impact on water system sampling, testing, sanitization, and routine maintenance. This course is designed to provide…

This Bioassays webinar will systematically outline the steps needed to successfully transfer validated biological assays between GMP/GLP labs and also acquire non-validated assays for GMP/GLP development. Why Should You Attend: 50% of the drugs presently in discovery are biopharmaceuticals - these numbers lead to an "outsource or perish" philosophy for GMP/GLP development, validation and sample analysis. Unlike synthetic drugs requiring only straightforward analytical testing biopharmaceuticals require more elaborate assays to attain regulatory compliance. The industry has a significant underestimation of the discipline; skills and planning required to successfully transferring these assays. Naiveté in this area causes loss of precious time…

It will prepare you for the regulatory approval processes, Agency meetings, the complexities of running studies in Japan, the importance of partner selection and add the…

This webinar will cover the basics of design controls for medical devices, and provide recommendations for implementation of a compliant design control system. Also discussed will be design control requirements for devices already in distribution. Documentation requirements for each design stage will be included as well. Why You Should Attend: Prior to introduction of a new device, or even a modified design for an existing device, a systematic process must be followed. This process must ensure that all requirements are met. A firm's design control process must meet all regulatory requirements, but at the same time not be as unwieldy…
