Two-day seminar on Good Laboratory Practice Regulations –Introduction and Strategies for Implementat

101 5
Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) is a set of safety regulations for laboratories. When laboratories come up with products that are meant for both humans and animals, they are required to prove through data that their processes and products are safe for the purpose for which they are meant. They should be proven to be safe for humans and the environment. These guidelines, collectively known as GLP's, are a result of years of evolution of the practices in the field.

Scientific processes are highly accurate and are of very high importance, because one error, intended or unintended, can lead to serious consequences. The aim of GLP is to prescribe a set of guidelines which minimize and offset damage to humans, animals or the environment. These guidelines will be discussed in full length at a seminar that GlobalCompliancePanel, a leading provider of regulatory and compliance trainings, will be organizing at Mumbai on March 21 and 22.

The seminar:

This RAPS-approved seminar, which will earn participants up to 12 RAC points, is about GLP in all its elements. The speaker, Dr. Steven Kuwahara, is founder and Principal of GXP BioTechnology,LLC. This course will present the regulations and guidelines that apply to the safety testing of medical products. It will also discuss the rules as they apply to testing laboratories that study samples derived from test animals or test subjects in clinical studies.

This course is of immense value to any pharmaceutical professional who performs, supervises or reviews non-clinical studies related to product safety. Those professionals who perform studies on samples derived from animals or clinical subjects will find this course very useful. It is also targeted at anyone performing, supervising or reviewing non-clinical safety studies on any type of product that is regulated by the FDA. Other Regulatory Affairs professionals who need to be aware of these regulations and their requirements –namely those who prepare submissions for regulatory agencies –would also find this course useful.

This course seeks to instruct laboratory personnel in the material that they must know or prepare to pass an FDA inspection. The Expert will also discuss the types of studies that come under the GLP regulations.

Over two days, the speaker will touch upon important areas pertaining to GLP. These sessions will cover the following:
