The European Bioanalysis Forum (EBF) is an organisation comprising bioanalytical scientists working within the pharmaceutical industry R&D. Scope of the EBF is on bioanalysis of small and large molecules with bioanalysis being defined as:
* Quantification of drugs and metabolites in body fluids and tissues
* Quantification of PD and safety biomarkers amenable to conventional bioanalytical techniques
* Bioanalytical characterization of NBEs
Members discuss on regulatory issues and aspects (new guidelines, interpretation of existing guidelines) and present their joint opinion towards regulatory bodies and their peers. Further, they share common practices on procedures, science, Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), validation, quality (GLP) and discuss new developments in industry.
