We are pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Shib Mookherjea, Principal of ValQual International, as guest lecturer at our intensive,five-day Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry Principles and Practice training workshop August 5-9, 2013.

Dr. Mookherjea is a world-renowned expert on validation of analytical methods. His consulting and training services are in high demand by those who work in regulated industries that must develop methods which comply with government agency requirements. But even if you're not currently working in a regulated environment, understanding what goes into making a method rugged, reliable, and reproducible is extremely important for analytical success.

Dr. Mookherjea will attend the 5-day course and present a formal lecture on validation of LC-MS methods and qualification of systems. In addition, he will conduct a few lunchtime informal discussions. "My presentations will cover topics such as the Quality by Design (QbD ) approach to methods validation, validation parameters, developing acceptance criteria , system suitability tests , International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Guidelines, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Guidance , and conformance to Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs)," said Mookherjea.

Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry Principles and Practice is a comprehensive, five-day "boot camp" for mass spectrometry. 2013 marks the 27th consecutive year for this course. This year's session will be held at University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, August 5-9. The price for the course is $3100US which includes admission to the course, a course manual of more than 500 pages, other printed materials and books, breakfast and lunch each day, a Sunday night social event, and a banquet dinner on Thursday.
