An Introduction to GxP

An Introduction to GxP

There are a lot of three-letter acronyms employed in biotech – GMP, GLP, cGMP, CFR, etc. – that can be hard to keep straight when getting into the industry. Whether you're new to the industry or need a quick refresher, join the Emerging Leaders Committee and Dr. Dennis Gross for a virtual learning session on January 20, 2022, as we discuss a breakdown of GxP. Starting with the FDA and its role, this presentation plans to dive deeper into the governing body and guidelines that construct our industry. This event is virtual only.
