I W P P C A S® 1
First International Workshop on the Pharmaceutical Physical Characterization of the Amorphous State

The IWPPCAS®-1 will be held May 8 - 9, 2006

Preliminary Topics
The Amorphous State in Pharmaceuticals
Formulation of Amorphous Solids
Process Induced Disorder
Detection and Quantification of Low Levels of Amorphous Material


Location
Stamford, CT

Time
May 8 -9, 2006

Organizing Committee
Prof. Dr. Thomas Rhades, University of Otago, New Zealand
Prof. Dr. Marc Descamp, University of Lille, France
Dr. Angus Forster, GSK, UK
Dr. Angeline Zakrzewksi, assa, USA
Dr. Marek Zakrzewski, USA

Purpose
The 2- day 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 pharmaceutical physical characterizing of the amorphous state.

Objectives
This unique workshop will combine information about modern laboratory techniques to investigate the amorphous state in pharmaceutics and teaching about the amorphous state. 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

Registration
Please register early since the space is limited.

Presentations
Oral presentations will last 25 minutes including 5 minutes discussion. At the end of each session will be a 30 minutes round table discussion.

Abstract Submission
Please submit by e-mail to Angeline@assainternational.com a maximum one page abstract in Word for Windows format until February 28, 2006.
