London, United Kingdom, January 15, 2021 --(PR.com)-- SMi Group are pleased to announce the SMi�s 5th Annual Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Conference (HPAPi), taking place as a virtual conference with online access only on 11th � 11th May 2021.

Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HPAPIs) play an increasing central role in the fight against many diseases. There is an increasing need to protect workers who handle HPAPIs along the life cycle of the drug product manufacturing, from synthesis of the pharmaceutical active ingredient to distribution of the finished medicinal product.

This year�s event will focus on 4 key themes: best practices for toxicological assessment, innovations in containment and facility design, advances in the use of robotics and automation in manufacturing processes, and environmental considerations.

Key case studies will be highlighted throughout these themes, revealing the key challenges for current HPAPI manufacture, and insights into the latest technological and regulatory advances in this increasingly potent environment.
