An academic conference or symposium is the stage for researchers to present and discuss their work. Together with academic or scientific journals, conferences provide an important channel for exchange of information between researchers. Knowledge conferences help to create a dialogue and participation between research scholars, students, libraries, educational institutions, research centers and the industry on a global level.
Following table compiles conferences and workshops that have been the premier forum on the latest advances in production of biotherapeutics and common obstacles in process development with focus on host cell protein impurities.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 7th Annual Host Cell Proteins | AUGUST 15 - 16, 2022 | Boston, MA, USA | Characterizing and controlling process-related impurities, such as host cell proteins (HCPs), is a critical part of bioprocessing, with regulators now pressing companies for more data and questions emerging on the role of HCPs in emerging modalities. CHI’s Host Cell Proteins conference brings together industry leaders to discuss the evolution of analytical methods, standards, and control strategies in this dynamic space and to consider emerging understandings of the impact of specific high-risk HCPs. |
List of conferences and workshops 2019
| Name | Date | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14th World Congress on Pharmacology and Drug Safety | Dec 02-03, 2019 | Nice, France | The meeting aims to explore novel approaches in pharmacology, Drug Safety Systems and their application in the development of pharmaceutical and healthcare products.
