The Chromatographic Society and Joint Pharmaceutical Analysis Group have announced a one‑day meeting titled From Cradle to Grave: The Chromatographic (Analytical) Method Life Cycle. The meeting will be held at Burlington House, London, UK, on Thursday 10 May 2018.

The meeting aims to provide clear insights into successful strategies in critical areas including method development, validation, transfer, and life cycle management in the pharmaceutical industry, and the latest regulatory expectations, specifically quality-by-design (QbD) and permitted chromatographic method changes according to main pharmacopoeias.

The presentations will be delivered by highly regarded international speakers from industry, regulators, and the chromatography industry. The calibre of the speakers, combined with a fully integrated exhibition and vendor presentation programme, will deliver a highly interesting and well attended event, according to the organizers.
