"With global regulatory expectations for process control and validation changing in recent years, PDA's members recognize the importance of engaging health authority representatives at a workshop like this," said Richard Johnson, PDA President and CEO. "PDA has a long history of providing forums for manufacturers to exchange the latest thinking with their regulatory counterparts, and it is common for representatives of health authorities from different countries to appear at our meetings to open dialogue with industry experts."

The workshop is intended to help industry learn about the U.S. and European regulatory perspectives on process validation. In recent years, regulators have expected manufacturers to take a life-cycle approach to process validation and utilize risk-management and statistical tools. Process validation experts from industry, representing companies like Pfizer, Baxter Healthcare, and Amgen, also will present.
