5th International Conference on Lyophilization and Freeze Drying
The ISL-FD is a unique professional society, which covers every aspect in the field of lyophilization: pharmaceuticals, biological, food, process development, equipment and regulatory issues. Our membership is diverse and we support not only leading scientists representing big organizations, but also small businesses and researchers from developing countries. For us, success means bringing people with different backgrounds together to advance the technology and business development related to lyophilization. Our conferences are an excellent setting for companies planning to extend their businesses worldwide.
The ISL-FD strongly encourages any company with new techniques, services, or products related to the field of lyophilization to consider sponsoring this event. Funding will be directed toward inviting talented researchers and business owners from developing countries. See the Letter to Sponsors from Dr. Jorge Sassone, ISL-FD Director.
This conference will bring lot of opportunities for everyone to share our experiences in different fields, as well as enable the Sponsor to contact other organizations from all over the world interested in developing new business.
