PharmaEd Extractables & Leachables West 2026
November 4-5, 2026
The PDA Pharmaceutical Microbiology Conference brings the global microbiology community together in Washington, DC to share real-world experience, emerging approaches, and regulatory insight across contamination control, sterility assurance, and modern microbiological methods.
The 2026 program runs October 25–29 and pairs plenary sessions with parallel tracks on inspection readiness, cleanroom contamination control, rapid sterility and endotoxin testing, environmental monitoring data, data integrity and AI-driven microbiology, and the USP Microbiology Expert Committee’s five-year outlook. An “Ask the Regulators” panel with U.S. FDA representatives closes the conference, and a separate two-day Microbial Data Deviation Investigations Workshop follows on October 28–29.
Alongside the sessions, the week includes an exhibit hall, poster presentations, and structured networking. Find us there to talk contamination control and GMP microbiology in oligonucleotide manufacturing.
