Conference Programs Highlight InformEx 2014
The critically acclaimed television show Breaking Bad told the tales of a high school chemistry teacher who, after a diagnosis of advanced cancer, started a methamphetamine laboratory in order to support his family. While this is not the career path the chemical industry wants to endorse, the popular show did demonstrate applied science in action. At InformEx 2014, Donna Nelson, professor of organic chemistry at the University of Oklahoma and a scientific advisor for the program, will discuss her role in the program.

However, InformEx 2014, scheduled for Jan. 21-24 in Miami Beach, Fla., also features more mainstream conference topics. Conference programs are scheduled for Jan. 22-23 and will be located on the show floor. Exhibits are open Jan. 21-24.
The scheduled topics include an analysis of the current state of the pharmaceutical industry, where growth may come from, what new molecules may look like, and services drug manufacturers may require.
Another presentation will discuss, through case studies, challenges encountered in formulation development and manufacture of clinical trial material when moving from Phase 1 to Phase 2 and 3 studies. Participants can also learn how pharmaceutical companies and CDMOs are aligning sustainability policies and how these programs can generate a significant return on investment.
Other sessions will address vulnerabilities in the chemical supply chain, intellectual property protection, recent advances in chemical technologies for the synthesis of glyochemicals and glycoconjugates, creating value in partnerships between pharma and technology providers, and market opportunities in personalized medicine for the fine, custom and specialty chemicals industry.
On Tuesday, Jan. 21, a full day of exhibitor technology showcases are scheduled.
Networking breakfasts, as well as the InformEx 30th Edition Celebration, provide opportunities for interaction.
More than 3,500 attendees from top pharmaceutical, fine chemical and specialty chemical companies - along with 450 exhibitors - will take part in InformEx 2014, organizers report.
If you are in attendance, please visit Pharmaceutical Technology at booth 1321.
