Abstract

The ninth Japan Bioanalysis Forum symposium took place at tower hall Funabori, Tokyo, Japan, between 6 and 8 February, 2018. Bioanalytical scientists from the pharmaceutical industry, CROs, academia and regulatory bodies had many meaningful and relevant discussions on current topics of interest in bioanalysis. The 3-day symposium featured updated perspectives and experiences on regulated bioanalysis of small and large molecules, biomarker measurement and assessment of immunogenicity, as well as new areas of bioanalytical validation such as quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) and flow cytometry. There were over 260 participants from six countries, with 23 oral and 11 poster presentations, including the outcomes of Japan Bioanalysis Forum discussion groups. This report summarizes the major discussion topics from the conference.
