ISPE and CCPIE Work Together to Bring Learning Opportunities to China

As part of a pioneering relationship between an American not-for-profit organization and the Chinese government, the China Center for Pharmaceutical International Exchange (CCPIE) has invited ISPE to collaborate with them in bringing an exceptional learning opportunity to Chinese pharmaceutical professionals.

The 2008 ISPE Conference in China will take place from 11-12 November 2008 in conjunction with the 13th China International Pharmaceutical Industry Exhibition (held 12-14 November) at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing, China.

The CCPIE acts as the conduit between professional organisations and the SFDA, China’s pharmaceutical regulatory agency. The collaboration between ISPE and CCPIE is as pivotal as it is historic, as the CCPIE also trains members of the SFDA.

The keynote session on the first day of the conference will provide delegates with insights on China’s GMP regulations, perspectives of the China State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA), and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The second day of the conference consists of the following three parallel tracks and their respective track leaders:

• GAMP® 5 – Sion Wyn, Director, Conformity Ltd.
• Biotechnology – Ron Branning, VP Corporate QA, Gilead Sciences Inc.
• Validation – Steve Wisniewski, Senior Associate, Director of Compliance, IPS 

Many other notable speakers will take the podium at two-day conference, including:

• Robert Best, President and CEO, ISPE 
• A representative from SFDA 
• A representative from US FDA 
• Zhao Yajun, Director, CCPIE 
• Paul D'Eramo, Executive Director, Quality and Compliance Worldwide, Johnson & Johnson 
• Professor Zheng Qiang, Director, Centre for Pharmaceutical Information and Engineering Research, Peking University 
• Robert Tribe, ISPE Asia-Pacific Regulatory Affairs Advisor
