Synopsis
The MIBio conference series engages world leading experts from industry and academia in a discussion on how the latest molecular interaction based discoveries can be exploited in biopharmaceutical formulation to produce more effective, patient-friendly and safer therapeutic products.
With the increasing number of biopharmaceutical products in the pipeline, formulation as well as drug-device integration are becoming important issues. Only products that combine an excellent stability profile and a convenient delivery device will succeed in the increasingly competitive market place. The aim of the MIBio series is to facilitate a discussion about the latest advances in molecular interactions, formulation strategies and device development and to assist in effective translation of these advances into state-of the-art biopharmaceutical development.
MIBio 2016 will focus on discussing present and future drug-device development and the need for creative formulation to support successful product strategies. This will include formulation strategies for new product formats, use of novel excipients and the use of computational approaches in the formulation and drug delivery design, as well as regulatory and strategic implications of these new approaches. Seven key experts in the field will present during the day on these topics, and, as is traditional in the MIBio series, there will be opportunities for audience participation in the discussion of these important matters.
Attendees
MIBio 2016 as in previous years expects more than 100 industrial and academic research attendees to create an interesting and stimulating event fostering new collaborations and discoveries that will help steer the development of the next generation of formulation technologies.Programme

Additional Info
The conference venue at Magdalene College offers an excellent exhibiting space. We aim to build on the very positive feedback received from delegates, speakers, exhibitors and sponsors after the previous MIBio meetings to make MIBio 2016 an even more engaging and memorable event. The event will be attended by scientists and decision makers from Biotech and Pharma companies as well as academics with interest in macromolecular interactions and biopharmaceutical formulation. This will provide a unique opportunity for Sponsors and Exhibitors to gain a considerable exposure to their target audience.For more information on available packages, please contact conference secretariat via jan.jezek@formulation.org.uk
