Technology for the production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) is improving, with the aims of developing new products and bio-products, of reducing production costs and improving the quality of final products. In this context, biotechnology plays a crucial role.

The EDQM (Council of Europe), in collaboration with the Spanish Society of Biotechnology

(SEBiot), the Complutense University of Madrid, University of Pavia and the Italian Biocatalysis Centre (IBC), have organised the APIB 2011 meeting. The aim of this meeting is to bridge the information gap in the field of biotechnology between people working in the fields of R&D, production and regulatory affairs. The symposium will cover the more recent improvements in the field of biotechnology R&D, as well as information on the most important rules and technical aspects that should be considered for quality control in the bio-production of APIs.
