WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Understand evolving regulatory guidance

Gain a clear understanding of M10 updates, preclinical vs. clinical validation requirements, and how to align SOPs with current expectations.

Master PK and immunogenicity assay development

Learn how to design, optimise, and validate PK and ADA methods, address matrix effects, and implement advanced drug interference resolution techniques.

Troubleshoot and optimise assay performance

Identify and resolve common assay failures, set alert limits, and apply trending and supplemental validation to improve reliability.

Apply advanced techniques from real case studies

Work through case studies on rare disease matrices, comedication impact, and neutralizing antibody methods to apply solutions directly in your assays.


OUR ONLINE TRAINING EXPERIENCE INCLUDE

Three days of expert-led Zoom sessions packed with discussions, Q&As, and real-world scenarios.

All slides, tools, and supporting materials available in one place - before, during, and after the course.

Receive a digital certificate (also LinkedIn-ready) that verifies your skills in strategic trial planning.
