April 25th "Disposable Technologies Lessons Learned" Event Recap
On Thursday, April 25th,
Harris Group hosted
Christopher Miles,
Bioprocess Specialist from
Foster Wheeler Biokinetics,
Inc. and Seattle-based
Chris Thomas who is the
Validation Cleaning
Program Manager for CMC
Biologics.
We had an excellent turnout of 28 attendees that filled
the Harris Group meeting room overlooking the
Sound. Both presentations provided in depth, firsthand insight into the challenges with implementing
single-use systems. The presenters were able to use
real case-studies to provide the audience with useful
tools and lessons learned. This event offered a
unique opportunity to have candid discussions and
ask detailed questions of experts in this field.
Join a Committee!
