Lyo experts at every leading drug developer have told us that designing a robust, efficient and reproducible lyophilization cycle which guarantees high product quality and maintains drug stability is of paramount importance. But mastering lyo is tough - there are still many hurdles which need to be overcome in order to achieve optimal lyophilization performance.

Designed by leading drug developers Bristol-Myers Squibb, Millennium, Pfizer, Allergan and Genzyme, the 2^nd World Lyophilization Summit will bring together world class pharmaceutical and academic scientists to discuss and debate the latest challenges and advances in the lyophilization space. So unlike other lyophilization meetings, the focus is on industry topics which matter to you now.

Our first World Lyophilization Summit was acclaimed by delegates for doing just that. Here’s what some of our attendees had to say:

“A lot of science and data presented”

 GSK Bio

“Most welcome selection of topics and speakers”

MedImmune

“This is the best event I have attended in a long time. You have the right people here and the speakers are presenting new and innovative material. Well done”

Millrock Technology

Discover how you can boost the productivity and efficiency of your lyophilization activities to develop the optimal lyo cycle.

What will be covered on the agenda?

1. Discover how Biogen Idec and Merck are developing robust and consistent cycles which are desirable for large scale production and improve the scale-up and tech transfer process

2. Understand approaches towards stabilization and characterization of vaccine formulations with University of Colorado, MedImmune, MIT and Variation Biotechnologies

3. Debate with Novo Nordisk the pros and cons of freeze drying versus spray drying in terms of cost, process design and scalability

4. Find out how to apply QbD to the lyophilization cycle to facilitate tech transfer with Genzyme and gain in-depth insights into what information is required for a regulatory QbD filing with LKM CMC Consulting

5. Learn how to use information about the structure and behavior of proteins to predict long-term biopharmaceutical stability with NIST and discuss what impact different excipients have on the biophysical and chemical stability of antibodies and proteins with Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merrimack Pharmaceuticals

6. Hear from Boehringer Ingelheim about different primary and secondary packaging considerations for lyophilized parenterals in order to maintain product integrity

7. University of Minnesota, SP Scientific and University of Purdue will show you what tools and techniques you can use to ensure optimization of product and lyophilization cycle performance
