Event Calendar

Presented By: Ross Youngs – Founder/CEO of Biosortia Microbiomics. Both online and in-person sessions will be offered for this event. For over 70 years, the quest to obtain the metabolites or small molecules in unculturable microbes has been a goal of many researchers seeking the best starting points in drug and life science discovery. With only 1% of microbes growing in a culture or bioreactor, the ability to directly obtain has been stymied by nature. The pivot to indirect methods has hit the firewall of nature’s complexity leading mostly to irrelevant and incomplete results. Learn how industrial-scale microbiome mining will open up direct access to these sought-after small molecules from potentially 100% and how this new source will impact therapeutics, agriculture, sustainability, cosmetics, and the entire range of life science discoveries.

In-person seating is limited.

When it comes to medical documentation, it is important for the inclusion of complex technical information to be easily comprehended by patients or other lay-persons, who are often the intended audience. This is especially true for EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) Summaries of Safety and Clinical Performance (SSCPs), and is considered a key attribute. Join NAMSA for an engaging and practical webinar, led by one of our former Notified Body auditors, where we will review MDR SSCPs from the Notified Body perspective with a focus on demonstrating how to write clear, concise and informative SSCPs.
