Dissolution: From Method Development to Approval - a JPAG Foundations Event
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
The Joint Pharmaceutical Analysis Group, JPAG, is proud to present the Pharmaceutical Analysis Foundations Programme. A series of 1 day events designed to provide in-depth guidance on the most relevant analytical methodologies applied to pharmaceutical products and processes. Each 1 day symposium will cover the essential foundations of a technique and the most up-to-date examples of how that technique is applied in pharmaceutical analysis; the requirements for validation; troubleshooting; and associated regulatory considerations. Opportunities for open discussion with industry leading experts will be available as well as the chance to meet vendors of the latest equipment and network with colleagues and experts from across the industry.
Delve into the world of dissolution at our second Foundations event: Dissolution: From Method Development to Approval. This symposium offers an invaluable opportunity for analytical scientists at all career stages to expand their knowledge of this essential technique. Engage with leading experts from industry, regulatory agencies, and academia, who will provide practical insights and discuss the critical role dissolution plays in drug development and quality assurance. Dive into discussions about compendial apparatus, innovative technologies, method development, troubleshooting, and validation. Discover the latest advancements for modern quality control and development laboratories. Network with industry leaders and leave equipped with the knowledge to optimise your analytical methodologies.
Speakers:
Lee Ashworth - AstraZeneca
Dr Francesca Gavins - MHRA
Dr Samir Haddouchi - Sotax

JPAG Pharmaceutical Analysis Research and Career fair 2025
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
Based on the great success of the past years, JPAG presents this year's Pharmaceutical Analysis Symposium for postgraduate, undergraduate and early career scientists.
This event will provide the opportunity for you to listen to and hear the latest research being carried out by your peers. Early career scientists (undergraduate, postgraduate, industrial) conducting research in various areas of pharmaceutical science will showcase their work through oral and poster presentations with prizes for best posters and best podium presentations (including the prestigious Geoffrey Phillips Award).
You can SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT by completing this ONLINE FORM.
Deadline for submissions: 31st August 2025.
A Careers Fair will also be running in parallel during the symposium and will provide delegates with an opportunity to have 1:1 consultations with career advisors from a selection of pharmaceutical employers and organisations including major pharmaceutical companies, contract research organisations and recruitment advisors. Perhaps your future employer will be here!
High profile Keynote speakers will provide inspirational and enlightening talks for delegates.
And additionally, the Royal Society of Chemistry's Careers Team will give a talk on 'Job Hunting in the Pharmaceutical Industry' and will conduct a 'CV Surgery' at the Careers Fair: these are one-to-one discussions to get invaluable advice on successful job applications. So be sure to bring your CV along!
Come along and network with peers, experienced academics, industrial scientists, high profile keynote presenters, and leading companies who are providing careers advice.
This is an event you will not want to miss!

Regulatory Hot Topics X
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
This symposium will address an introduction to the issues and challenges associated with reliance and worksharing procedures and the adoption of AI in pharmaceutical analysis and CMC submissions. Additional topics will cover an update and look ahead from the British Pharmacopoeia and a review of global regulatory CMC topics from 2025. The programme will also look at the changing landscape for point-of-care/modular manufacture and the future of the use of colourants in medicines.
As usual, the meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for dialogue, discussion and debate in an open forum and allow learning from expert speakers involved in the development of guidance and best practice.
The meeting is open to the submission of abstracts for posters in line with the above proposed key themes.

Analysis for amorphous materials
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
More and more new materials are being created to harness the benefits of amorphous materials. However, this can raise questions over physical stability and ways to assess for changes in these materials. As such amorphous materials present a unique challenge to pharmaceutical scientists and engineers; as well as a massive opportunity. JPAG and the APS Materials Science focus group will be working together to deliver a joint seminar which will address the manufacturing challenges and characterisation of amorphous materials, from the joint perspectives of small and large molecule analytics and materials science. Split across two sessions (morning and afternoon) we will look at the unique challenges and opportunity of amorphous materials through the lenses of academic and industrial approaches.

TESTIMONIALS...
Very enjoyable and thought-provoking day; going away with plenty of notes and specific items for discussion.
Excellent meeting, challenging and thought provoking. The organisation was excellent, thanks to all the efforts that JPAG team have made.
I have not attended a bad JPAG meeting yet. They are really good value for money and I really love to get the presentations as PDFs
I did appreciate receiving the slides before, as then I could print them and make notes around them during the symposium.
Getting an industry perspective on this topic was most helpful.
Fantastic to hear from NHS speaker, provides real insight to patient/clinician considerations that we don't necessarily see in industry.
Hearing the information from the clinical setting side was very useful.
Well organized. This was an amazing session. Prior sharing of the presentation was a great add on!
The most useful aspect of the webinar was the variety in the presentations across industry and the regulators. Really good to review the presentations beforehand.
Good value, well organised symposium. Always useful for focused topics.
A very good day. Enjoyed getting to speak to the presenters to discuss current challenges in industry.
