I W P C P S® 10
Tenth International Workshop on Physical Characterization of Pharmaceutical Solids

The IWPCPS®-10 will be held June 8-14, 2008 in the Bamberg, Germany

Preliminary Topics

New Topics such as:

  • Bioavailability of Forms
  • Generation of Forms
  • Characterization of Forms
  • Developability of Drugs
  • Characterization and Quality Control of Drug Product
  • Dissolution of Forms and Drug Product

General Topics such as:

  • Polymorphs and Solvates
  • Special XRD Applications
  • Modern Thermal Analysis Applications
  • Solid State NMR Applications
  • Amorphous Content _ Determination And Characterization
  • Particle Size Analysis And Processing Effects
  • Morphology And Surface Characterization
  • Drug Product Characterization
  • Regulatory Patent Issues
Purpose

The International Workshops on Physical Characterization of Pharmaceutical Solids celebrates its tenth workshop.

It was held in 2000, 2001in Lancaster PA, USA
In 2003 in Oxford, UK,
In 2004 in Stamford, USA
In 2004 in Ettlingen, Germany
In 2005 in Kona, Hawaii, USA
In 2006 in Rhodes, Greece.
In 2007 in Boston, MA; USA

The workshop will allow you to learn in a relaxed environment about in-depth understanding of state-of-the-art physical characterization of pharmaceutical solids.

The program is intended to benefit scientists and researchers in the areas of drug discovery, preformulation, formulation, stability testing, product development, product quality control, and analytical services.

Workshop participants will be exposed to several analytical approaches of characterizing a solid. They will learn how these approaches can complement each other and may be utilized individually or in concert in the solution of real problems in pharmaceutical development and solid-state chemistry.

Objectives

The workshop will combine information about modern laboratory techniques to solve pharmaceutical problems and teaching about solid state characterization of pharmaceuticals. It will offer fundamental approaches as well as up-to-date technical information and future outlooks.

Who should attend?

The workshop is designed for scientists, formulators and regulatory personnel from the following areas:
Pharmaceutical Research and Development

  • Ethical and Generic Pharmaceutical Production
  • Excipient/Chemicals Production
  • Veterinary Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
  • Food Processing
  • Compounding Pharmacists
  • Regulatory Agencies
  • Academia
  • Analytical Equipment Manufacturers
  • Analytical Laboratories
