Presented by ASTM International, NIIMBL and LyoHUB

ASTM Committee E55 on Manufacture of Pharmaceutical Products addresses issues related to process control, design, and performance, as well as quality acceptance/assurance tests for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. This committee works to develop standardized nomenclature and definitions of terms, test methods, specifications, and performance standards for the manufacture of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products.

The goal for this workshop is to initiate and engage in discussions on pharmaceutical manufacturing which can be developed and advanced as consensus standards. The workshop will include a presentation on the future of biopharmaceutical manufacturing, lyophilization in review, overview of LyoHUB and the Lyophilization Technology Roadmap, a review of applications for lyophilized products, a technical foundation of Lyo 101 and a presentation and panel on the best practices papers currently being worked on by LyoHUB. University researchers, representatives from applicable consortiums and industry representatives will offer participants an understanding of available resources and collaborative opportunities.

A POSTER COMPETITION is open to all workshop registrants. The session will take place in the Birck Nanotechnology Center located at 1205 W. State Street, West Lafayette, IN 47907 in the late afternoon, immediately following the conclusion of the workshop. Poster space is limited and will be given on a first-come, first-served basis.
