The Center for Pharma Crystallization (CfPC) at J-Star Research, Inc., a US based subsidiary of Porton Pharma Solutions, is pleased to announce the program of the 2nd annual Pharmaceutical Crystallization Summit, to be held on October 14 and 15, 2021, jointly with our partners XtalPi, BlazeMetrics, and Technobis.

The 2-day event includes 4 sessions, with 12 keynote presentations by leading industrial and academic experts, and 3 topical panel discussions moderated by SMEs from the pharma industry. See topical and speaker details at www.pharmaceuticalcrystallizationsummit.com.

“Serving the patients with the right DP (drug product) in the fastest way possible requires scientists on the API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) side, and DP side to work hand in hand, not in isolation. The speakers at this conference will demonstrate how this kind of collaboration can lead to experimental and theoretical tools to better understand the fundamentals of APIs, their interaction with excipients, API crystallization and formulation processes” said Dr. San Kiang, CTO of Porton, Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Crystallization Summit.

“I’m really excited about this year’s Summit. The superb program that is in place will offer in-depth scientific and technical discussions on crystallization technologies, geared towards overcoming hurdles in new drug development programs,” said Dr. Jian Wang, SVP, CfPC at J-Star Research. “I look forward to meeting both old and new friends in the pharma crystallization field in October.”
