April 30: "Mitigating Risk In Drug Development Using AI”
(AGXPE Webinar)
This presentation will explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can play a role in mitigating risks assoicated with
long timelines, high costs and uncertain clinical outcomes.
It will discuss how AI can help by enhancing decision-making, optimizing clinical trial designs, and improving predictive models. Along with providing real-world GMP and GCP examples of AI applications, the discussion will demonstrate how AI is transforming the landscape of drug development and driving more efficient, cost-effective, and safer pathways to bringing new treatments to market.
Sept. 29-Oct. 1: “Implementing an FDA Compliant Stability Program”
(On-Site or Live Stream)
Regulatory compliant deficiencies* in stability programs have resulted in clinical holds and market approval delays.
Pharmaceutical companies must invest in an effective and regulatory compliant stability program strategy that can meet both FDA and EMA requirements and expectations.
This course is for directors, managers, supervisors, project planners, analysts, and professional staff seeking to understand, develop or implement a regulatory compliant stability program for their pharmaceutical chemical drug or biologic product. It is designed to help attendees learn to design and implement a stability program that can meet global requirements and expectations.
Course participants will also learn how to effectively interpret stability data.
*For reference, here is a 2024 Warning Letter noting
how a ” … firm’s stability program is inadequate.”

Dec. 16-18: "Analytical Method Validation for Biologics, Biopharmaceuticals
and Other Therapeutic Products”
(On-Site or Live Stream)
Complex processes yielding complex products such as biologics and biopharmaceuticals demand numerous, non-compendial, and sometimes complex QC test methods to confirm manufacturing consistency and product quality. This course provides:
- A comprehensive overview of the international regulatory authority requirements and expectations for test method validation of these assays.
- Attendees with the knowledge and tools to plan and execute test method validation packages for the NDA, BLA and MAA market application dossiers, covering in-process, release and stability assays commonly used by QC in biologic and biopharmaceutical companies.
- An overview of validation of QC analytical test methods (e.g., electrophoretic, HPLC, peptide mapping, etc.), cell-based potency bioassays, immunochemical binding impurity assays and adventitious agent assays.
Attendees will have a clear understanding of international regulatory authority regulations and gain background knowledge necessary to effectively plan and execute QC test method validation programs.

SPEAKING AT TIDES May 11, 2026
"Quality and Regulatory Aspects of an IND"
Presentation and Panel Discussion
Judy’s presentation outlines key considerations and essential steps for establishing robust quality systems for oligonucleotide active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug products (DPs), aligned with regulatory expectations.
As oligonucleotide therapeutics rapidly advance through innovations in chemistry and delivery technologies, ensuring the quality of both APIs and DPs is critical.
Attendees will gain insights into best practices for compliance and strategies to support the successful development and commercialization of oligonucleotide-based therapies.
June 1-4: “Pharmaceutical Production Batch Record Review | Training”
(On-Site or Live Stream)
This course takes the mystery out of the batch record review process.
The class examines the FDA and EU regulatory requirements for documentation and batch record reviews, explains the elements of the batch record review process, and clarifies the pathway to effective deviation investigations.
This course is for people responsible for reviewing and auditing production batch records, and batch record deviation investigations in pharmaceutical production, QA, and compliance. Interactive sessions include identifying reviewer responsibilities, establishing good documentation practices, and writing procedures for the review process.
