Introducing the 2nd Annual HPAPI Conference This May 2018

London, United Kingdom, January 17, 2018 --(PR.com)-- SMi is delighted to announce its 2nd Annual Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients conference coming to London on the 21st - 22nd May 2018. Registration is now open.

Conference Overview:

The global market for Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients is currently largely driven by its major use in oncology for cancer treatment and more often in the form of ADCs. Over a quarter of drugs worldwide now contain HPAPIs, as they have proven to be more effective than other APIs. However, working with APIs high in potency and cytotoxicity comes with many regulations and requirements, and presents pharmaceutical companies with challenges such as handling, containment, cost and security questions.

This conference will cover many important and in-demand aspects of the HPAPI industry, creating a networking platform for industry professionals and key players to share their knowledge and find innovative new solutions.
