Japan Analytical Instrument Manufacturers’ Association

JAIMA Symposium held at Pittcon 2023, a conference on laboratory andlaboratory equipment, to introduce the latest analytical solutions forbiopharmaceuticals and bio-therapeutics
The Japan Analytical Instrument Manufacturers’ Association (JAIMA, 2-5-16, Kanda Nishiki-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo
101-0054; president: Akira Nakamoto [also senior advisor of Shimadzu Corporation]) will hold the JAIMA
Symposium at Pittcon 2023 (March 18, 2023 to March 22, Philadelphia, PA, USA), one of the world's largest
exhibitions of laboratory and laboratory equipments and devices.
This symposium will be held under the theme of "Analytical Solutions for Research, Development & CMC of Novel
Modalities of Drugs - Comprehensive Understanding of Molecular Structure, Dynamics and Function".
A comprehensive understanding of the structure, dynamic behavior and function of molecules is becoming
increasingly important in the development of new pharmaceutical modalities such as next-generation antibody
drugs and nucleic acid drugs. In this symposium, we will raise the importance of the fusion of analytical chemistry
and data science to obtain such comprehensive knowledge, and discuss projects and technologies related to thedevelopment of analytical solutions for the pharmaceutical market in the era of data science.
Through this symposium, JAIMA will provide information on the latest analytical solutions related tobiopharmaceuticals and bio-therapeutics in Japan and abroad to CROs, CMOs, pharmaceutical companies andrelated academia participating in Pittcon 2023 from around the world. The JAIMA booth(No.1942) will be displayed
at the exhibition, and the company will further expand its business overseas to revitalize the domestic analysis andanalytical instruments arket.
