Each session at CPSA Analytics, hosted in Boston (MA, USA), will address the current industrial landscape and the global need to bring products to market faster for the needs of the patient. More information on this highly interactive event can be found on the CPSA website, where you can register now.

13–17 May: 5th Workshop on Analytical Metabolomics
Taking place in Thessaloniki, Greece, this meeting will feature renown speakers from academia, industry and regulators discussing analytical approaches in biomarker discovery. In addition to the meeting, there will also be three days of practical workshops on experimental design, sample preparation, LC–MS and GC–MS analysis, data mining and statics. More details and registration can be found on the BIOMIC website.

20–22 May: EBF Spring Focus Workshops
This workshop, hosted in Barcelona, Spain, will focus on the harmonization of bioanalytical guidelines in the research community. The aim of the meeting is to discuss the draft ICH M10 guideline, support the draft guideline and provide comments and areas for improvement. Registration and more information can be found on the EBF website.

20–23 May: TIDES: Oligonucleotides and Peptide Therapeutics 
Registration is open and the agenda now available for the largest meeting to accelerate oligonucleotide and peptide products from early discovery to late-stage development and commercialization, held in San Diego (CA, USA). TIDES offers separate tracks covering the latest oligonucleotide and peptide development strategies from discovery, nonclinical, clinical and CMC to late-stage development and commercialization.


JUNE

2–6 June: ASMS Conference
American Society for Mass Spectrometry 67th Annual Conference
Hosted in Atlanta, USA, this conference will feature outstanding speakers discussing topics such as the advancement of techniques and instrumentation in mass spectrometry, as well as fundamental research in proteomics, forensics, lipidomics and biomarkers in a diverse set of parallel sessions and evening workshops. The conference will conclude with a remarkable closing event scheduled for the Georgia Aquarium on Thursday evening.
