(1888PressRelease) September 04, 2015 - From the evolving regulatory landscape and product commercialisation barriers , through to advanced structural characterisation techniques and engagement of payers and clinicians on the safety and adoption of biosimilars, in just 4 weeks, SMi's 6th annual Biosimilars and Biobetters conference will provide a platform to engage in scientific discussions and debate the best practices and solutions to improve industry performance. As well as learning from your peers through case studies and interactive debate, don't miss the opportunity to hear from specialists representing big pharma, biotech and academia, for important updates in the field.

Against this backdrop, in the build-up to the event, SMi is pleased to announce that an exclusive interview with SGS Life Science Services' Global Director of BioPharma Services Development, Dr. Fiona Greer has just been released.

When asked to provide an update on structural characterisation, she commented:
"The regulatory pathway in both EU and US and indeed many other countries for biosimilars is very different to a novel molecule. It is mandatory to establish and demonstrate bio-similarities between biosimilar and reference product at the analytical level by side-by-side comparison, i.e. physical, biological and chemical characterisation, before progressing into clinical study. Based on the structural characterisation profile, the regulatory authority will ask for different further information and decide what the next step of your programme should be."
