Two Day Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) Technology Seminar - London, United Kingdom - September 18-19, 2019 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Metered
Dose Inhaler (MDI) Technology" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
offering.

A comprehensive overview of MDIs including development, manufacture,
regulation and market potential

This interactive seminar will provide a comprehensive overview of
metered-dose inhaler technology. It will clarify the therapeutic targets
and look at delivery technologies. Participants will gain a valuable
insight into market potential and receive detailed information on the
manufacturing process, quality and inspection requirements and the
regulatory pathways to follow.

This seminar will be beneficial for those new to the area and those who
require a refresher on the opportunities with this technology. The
seminar format will include practical workshops and there will be plenty
of opportunity for discussion with the trainer who has significant
experience in this field.
