API and Raw Material Supply Concerns Focal Point of Pharma ChemOutsourcing Conference September 8-9 in New Jersey

    LONG BRANCH, N.J., May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- When pharmaceutical and
biotech chemistry sourcing management gathers in Long Branch, NJ in
September to meet at the Pharma ChemOutsourcing Conference & Exhibition,
areas of special interest will be starting materials and Active
Pharmaceutical Ingredients. Likewise, discussion will center on Asian

recently introduced in China to tighten quality control and protect the
environment have sent ripples throughout the industry.

    The conference will begin on September 8 with two panel discussions to
focus on these topics. Overall, 90 speakers, mostly chemistry sourcing
managers from pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies will be on
hand as part of the largest speaking faculty ever gathered to meet about
sourcing.
