Please join us for our first ever virtual-only lunch and learn! The topic for discussion is GXPs, which include Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP). These practices are required for compliance in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, dietary supplement, medical device, and food and beverage industries. A solid commitment to GXPs is the first step toward ensuring patient safety and a high-quality product. Presented by Dennis Gross, a leader in drug discovery, this lunch and learn is a great refresher for the Young Professional and the seasoned expert too!
