Much of the content in Pittcon’s comprehensive Technical Program is geared to the specific needs of the pharmaceutical science community. There are more than 2,000 papers—including invited symposia, oral presentations, posters and

workshops —on topics ranging from the latest HPLC, MS and other analytical techniques to drug discovery, nanotechnology and microfluidics.

Here’s a sample of the symposia to be presented in pharmaceutical science:

• Specificity and Promiscuity in Small Molecule Binding to Intrinsically Disordered Protein Regions
• Raman Characterization of Critical Biological Reactions in Dilute Aqueous Solutions, in Single Crystals and in Living Cells
• Deciphering the Chromatographic Unknowns
• Meeting the Need for Physiologically-relevant Affinity Measurements

Sample of workshop and oral presentations:

• Current Trends in Pharmaceutical Dissolution Testing
• ACS DAC: Interfermetry in Chemistry, Biology and Medicine
• QbD Based Development of Analytical Methods for Product Characterization, Release, and Stability Studies - Present Status, Lessons Learned, and the Future
• Integrating Predictive and Experimental Tools to Capture Degradation Knowledge in the Early Development Phase of a Drug’s Lifetime
• Pharmaceutical Applications of Sub-2-µm, Solid-Core Particle Columns
• Analysis of Phenethylamine Street Drugs for Psychoactive Compounds and Impurities

Enhance Your Professional Development

Short Courses are an excellent, affordable way to enhance your professional development. Many attendees have stated that participation in Short Courses is the primary factor that justifies their attendance at Pittcon year after year.

Courses range in length from one half day to two days and are taught by experienced professionals who are experts in their fields. The value of course attendance is enhanced by the opportunities to network with your peers and share your experiences in face-to-face interactions with instructors and fellow attendees. Courses are available in beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
