<p>ALBA Synchrotron - Carrer de la Llum, 2, 26, 08290 Cerdanyola del Vallès, Barcelona</p>
Sincrotrón ALBA and Biocat
The conference Applications of the ALBA Synchrotron for the Pharmaceutical Industry is organized by the ALBA Synchrotron in conjunction with Biocat, and aims to show pharmaceutical companies the applications of synchrotron light, which include critical stages for the sector such as the design of new drugs or the characterization of the active ingredients in the final formulation, among others.
During the meeting, practical examples of the most suitable techniques available at ALBA for this industrial sector will be shown; including success stories of client companies, a visit to the facilities and as a closing a networking lunch where you can consult the specialized staff of ALBA.
The language of the day will be Spanish, although some of the talks will be in English.
