EBF 10th Open Symposium
Event details
Website: | |
Location: | Hotel NH Collection Barcelona, Gran Via 144. 08907 Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain, Europe |
For the 10th symposium, EBF have planned to increase connectivity by making more time available for interactive workshops and increased time for discussions during the plenary presentations.
We identified 5 themes for plenary presentations and 5 themes for interactive workshops for which we have reserved ½ day on day 2.
- Our Daily Challenges:
- Globalization of BA – any challenges along the road?
- Learning from mistakes – your worst BA nightmare shared in Barcelona
- Efficient assay transfer – a smooth journey?
- What if ISR really fails?
- Regulations:
- Feedback from industry experience during filings – what questions did you get, how did you overcome challenges?
- How do we manage new technologies or assay formats in a regulated environment?
- New guidelines impacting the BA landscape dissected to agree on a common approach (e.g. OECD-17, GLP, Data integrity…)
- New Technologies Embraced versus Established Technologies Refined
- Novel solutions for daily challenges: game changers on the horizon?
- Bedside monitoring – a new hype or here to stay?
- How quantitative are imaging data? Can we validate them? Should we?
- Can the latest developments in Ligand Binding, Chromatography and Hybrid Assays be applied routinely?
- The Challenges from 2016 Continue….
- Biomarkers:
- Use and Validation of ‘quasi-quantitative’ assays (LBA, enzyme-activity, receptor occupancy, FACS)
- The weak boundary between exploratory and confirmatory biomarker
- Immunogenicity – best practices and continued challenges
- Scientific Validation – implementation in a global setting
- How can we do More with Less?
- Honey, they shrunk the budget!
- Single analysis in LBA – why aren’t we doing it?
- Analyzing placebos, taking duplicate samples – why do we keep on doing it?
Five themes for the Interactive Workshops: Workshops related to (1) the E-environment, (2) technology development, (3) specialized sampling or separation developments, (4) specialized LBA and (5) practical challenges with regulations

This Open Symposium has become a landmark for bioanalytical discussions in EU and has created a true Forum-like spirit where people meet and open discussions during sessions and presentations contribute to the development of an open mind in bioanalysis.
In addition, we are happy to invite you to 2 extra opportunities to network with your peers:
