EAG Laboratories and University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy Announce Webinar Series

SAN DIEGO, CA and MADISON, WI--(Marketwired - Apr 11, 2017) - EAG Laboratories, a global scientific services company that provides testing, analytical and characterization services to technology- and life-science-related industries, and University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy have launched an educational webinar series to illuminate common analytical challenges related to modern drug development. The series, titled "The Science of Drug Development," is an extension of the university's continuing education technical curricula available to industry scientists in all stages of their careers.

"Today, the majority of drug development activities are outsourced to service providers like EAG. Having worked with so many different types of molecules, formulations and modes of action, our scientists bring a unique perspective to industry conversations about analytical and regulatory challenges. This collaboration with the University of Wisconsin provides a great forum for EAG scientists to share their insight into common drug development issues," said Siddhartha Kadia, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of EAG.

Webinars will be approximately one hour in length, including a question and answer session with technical experts. Recorded versions will be available for download on both the EAG and the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy websites. With topics ranging from analytical challenges of cutting-edge Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) development to how to avoid problems with analytical method transfers between laboratories, the series offers pharmaceutical scientists a quick and travel-free way to enhance their technical acumen.

"We believe the webinar series will be a great complement to the short-courses, conferences and workshops offered through our Division of Pharmacy Professional Development (DPPD)," said Erik Burns, EdD, Division Chair, Assistant Dean of Outreach and Professional Development. University of Wisconsin-Madison DPPD has been a leader in pharmacist and pharmaceutical sciences continuing education and professional development for over 60 years.

The series commences on May 18 with the first webinar entitled, "Analytical Method Transfers: Practice & Pitfalls." The full schedule for the series can be viewed here. For additional information, visit http://www.eag.com or www.wisc.edu.
