Over 1000 professionals representing pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical companies, CROs and multiple regulatory agencies convened at the 13th WRIB (Workshop on Recent Issues in Bioanalysis) on April 1-5, 2019 in New Orleans to discuss current topics of interest in Bioanalysis, Biomarkers, Immunogenicity and Gene Therapy. High Quality, better compliance to regulations and scientific excellence have always been the foundations of this workshop.

The 13th WRIB included 3 sequential Main Workshop days, 6 additional full-day Training Sessions that together spanned an entire week in order to allow exhaustive and thorough coverage of all major issues in bioanalysis, biomarkers, immunogenicity and gene therapy.

While the 13^th WRIB continued its well-established tradition to provide Novel Solutions in Drug Discovery/Development and promote Innovation in Method Development in Bioanalysis, Biomarkers and Immunogenicity, the 2019 edition was also setting the stage to discuss 4 recently released guidance important to the industry with participating regulators:

What made WRIB Special?

In this busy and fast paced environment, it is great to attend a conference that organizes everything for you so all you need to do is to focus on your learning:

• No need to rush at last minute to print speakers/course slides before your travel, at WRIB you'll receive a program book with all the material you need;
• No need to take notes on a blank paper or on your computer/ipad, at WRIB you have the slides of all the speakers in the program book, so take your notes right on the slides where they belong to;
• No need to look for which session to follow or scramble from one room to another to catch different speakers in multiple parallel session, at WRIB all sessions are sequential so just sit and relax enjoying the sessions with your coffee/tea :-)
• No need to look for a restaurant/cafe to eat breakfast or lunch, at WRIB, breakfast, sit-down hot buffet lunch, morning/afternoon refreshment, and wine and beers are all included every single day so you can just focused on learning and networking :-)
