September 5, 2012

LONDON, September 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –

Leading biotech and biopharma organisations are coming together to learn how to
maximise their viral security strategies and the new technologies available from the FDA,
NIBSC, NIH and a range of industry experts including Genzyme, Baxter and Amgen at the
Pathogen Safety Summit this November.

Pharma IQ’s Pathogen Safety Summit is back for its third year to offer the opportunity
to learn and hear insights from key regulatory bodies, industry representatives and
experts in viral safety on the current viral security strategies and technologies.

As the cost of contamination is huge, both financially and to an organisation’s
reputation, this event will cover:

        - The latest regulatory updates on viral safety from Arifa Khan, FDA and Dr
          Wahiba Oualikene-Gonin, AFSAAPS
        - James Gilbert, Biogen Idec and Lada Laenen, Genzyme, will share best practices
          for the successful evaluation of raw materials
        - Knowledge of the most prevalent pathogens currently being found in biologics
          from Phil Minor, NIBSC
        - Adam Polermo, Genzyme, present the latest data on the implementation of deep
          sequencing technologies
        - Rebecca Sheets, NIH, streamlines the viral screening process and rationalise
          the implementation of the latest technologies

This interactive, senior-level summit will allow organisations to benchmark themselves
against the leading experts in biosafety.
