EBF 7th Open Symposium - First Call for Speakers

In the program outline we identified 5 major themes where we want to travel with you beyond the horizon. For each of the 5 themes we suggest session topics. Again, in the spirit of a true Forum, we will build the final agenda reflecting your interest, contributions and engagement. Your submission will define how some session topics will make it into a plenary or a breakout session, or may qualify for an integrated small workshop.

1. Technology improvements
o Miniaturisation in sampling and analysis: updates on micro sampling technologies and
micro/capillary/nano-LC/MS,
o Bioanalysis below the pg/mL: The next level of sensitivity for potent drugs or micro dosing
o Immunoassays for biomarkers
o New Technologies in large molecule analysis
o Automated sample analysis in a regulated environment

2. Enhancements in Bioanalytical Processes
o Pre-GLP bioanalysis: a breeding pond for new bioanalytical applications?
o Ensuring “end to end robustness” of bioanalytical assays
o Ensuring Data integrity and smart e-(raw)data management
o Validation and implementation clinical analyzers in support of drug development
o Bioanalysis of biosimilars - a follow up
o Consult the Doctor: dealing with the unexpected, Large and Small

3. Building bridges within Bioanalysis: connecting the dots for peptide and protein bioanalysis
o Protein bioanalysis using immunoextraction and HRMS, multiplexing
o Hybrid Bioanalysis of biologics, bringing LBA and LC-MS/MS together – focus on new technology opportunities
o Combined use LBA + LC-MS/MS in drug development of peptide/proteins: 1+1=3
or where complementary data made a difference

4. Building bridges outside bioanalysis
o What lies beyond the horizon? (e.g. novel study design, bedside monitoring, Integrated PK-PD-IG (bio)analysis)

5. The regulatory landscape
o Moving beyond a “one size fits all” approach, incl. feedback from EBF Focus workshop
“Taking Tiered Approach to the next level”
o Harmonization of BMV: how can we help to paint a new landscape?

ORAL PRESENTATIONS

You are invited to submit your contribution to open@europeanbioanalysisforum.eu before May 26th, 2014, providing title of the presentation, a recent bio (max 150 words) and an abstract (max 350 words). As last year, we intend to publish the agenda before summer.
