Together with SmiLe Incubator, we have the pleasure of inviting members of Medicon Valley Alliance to the next Microbiome Network Meeting on the 11th of May 2023 in Lund, Sweden.
The network meeting will focus on how to navigate the regulatory frameworks in the area of Live Biotherapeutic Products (LBPs) and Foods for Special Medical Purposes (FSMPs), as well as how to design clinical studies for different purposes within the microbiome field.
To kick off the program we are pleased to have an international keynote speaker to share his insights on navigating complex regulatory frameworks. For several years Dr. Gosálbez has shared his insight in the microbiome area as a speaker at conferences such as Pharmabiotics and Probiota and this will be the first time he speaks in Scandinavia. We are also looking forward to hearing from companies in the Medicon Valley region who will share their experiences of developing FSMPs and LBPs – from food supplements to pharma.
