Catalent Presents at IPEC-Europe Conference
Somerset, N.J. – February 1, 2016 — Catalent Pharma Solutions, the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development solutions for drugs, biologics, consumer health and animal health products, today announced that Daniel Pearce, Quality Director, Global Supplier Assurance, will be presenting at the upcoming International Pharmaceutical Excipients Council (IPEC) Europe Excipients Forum, “Minimizing Risk, Maximizing Quality to Maintain Patient Safety”, to be held at the Negresco Hotel, Nice, France, on February 4th, 2016.
Mr. Pearce has been working on a taskforce set up by IPEC Europe to create a ‘How To’ guide for the practical approaches necessary to comply with a new EU guideline published in March 2015. This guideline requires all manufacturers to conduct a formalized risk assessment to determine the appropriate GMP to apply to excipient manufacture, specific for the dosage form and the risks to patients presented by all products. Mr. Pearce will present the taskforce’s draft document during the one day symposium at 11:00 a.m.
Mr. Pearce joined Catalent in February 2014, and has more than ten years of quality assurance experience in previous roles at Genus Pharmaceuticals and Patheon. He holds a greenbelt in lean six-sigma, and has undertaken all training for EU Responsible and Qualified Person status.
