Oxford Global’s 3rd Annual Biosimilars & Biobetters Congress Annouces New Hot Topics

Hits:971   Date: 2/3/2015

Oxford Global’s 3rd Annual Biosimilars and Biobetters Congress offers an exclusive opportunity for over 350 biologics experts to exchange their experience, engage in scientific discussions and debate the best practices and solutions to improve the biosimilars industry performance. Join us on 20th and 21st April at the Novotel London West, London, UK to hear over 20 presentations and case studies focusing on the key areas of the biosimilars industry.
 
Why this Congress?
Despite having to overcome tight regulatory, business and financial challenges, the biosimilars industry is forecast to be worth up to $25 billion by 2020. The rapid growth of the industry requires biosimilar experts to be at the forefront of knowledge with the current landscape of the industry. Co-located with the 8th Annual Proteins & Antibodies Congress and the 2nd Annual Peptides Congress, this Congress is the only one of its kind.
 
The Congress covers key hot topics such as regulatory guidelines, market access initiatives and the challenges and opportunities in developing best in class biosuperiors or biobetter biologics.  Our speaker line-up includes a Vice President from MedImmune and nine Directors from companies such as Merck Serono, Eli Lilly, Sanofi, Baxter, Boehringer Ingelheim and Teva.
 
Oxford Global are pleased to announce the latest Hot Topics, including:
