The role of pharmaceutical microbiology is getting more and more important. The microbial control concept is also increasingly in the focus of regulators during product submission and inspections. Current challenges are Low Endotoxin Recovery or other Endotoxin-masking effects, implementation of alternative microbiological methods, control of cell-based products and the ongoing issues with contamination control

Now in it's 11th year this years European Microbiology Conference promises an interesting and varied programme and provides an opportunity to stay up to date with the latest challenges and developments in the Industry.
