What our members say

I think ISPE is a great place to network, and to learn, either in formal training or through open discussions with a global group of professionals. ISPE membership improves our own performance, gives something back, and shares what we do to help others move forward in their lives or work.

Publications
The Journal of Pharmaceutical Innovation

The Journal of Pharmaceutical Innovation (JPI) is an international, multidisciplinary peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to publishing high quality papers emphasizing innovative research and applied technologies within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. JPI’s goal is to be the premier communication vehicle for the critical body of knowledge that is needed for scientific evolution and technical innovation. The journal brings together in a single source the most exciting work from a variety of fields - from R&D to market.


Volume 3, Number 2; June 2008

The first scientific papers outlining the progress made on ISPE’s Product Quality Lifecycle Implementation (PQLI) initiative are being published in the June 2008 issue of the Journal of Pharmaceutical Innovation. In addition to PQLI Innovations, the June edition will feature research on acoustic experiments and surface decontamination effectiveness, and a case study that proposes a method for determining the criticality of a process parameter.
