What is the World Biopharm Forum?

World Biopharm Forum was formed in 2004 because after working in industry and academic environments our founder, Dr Subramanian, recognised that there was not enough interaction between research and development and its effective implementation in industries to advance the production of biologics so that they are affordable to all people.

Since its inception, Dr Subramanian has created annual conferences with the aim of increasing productivity of drugs and maintaining quality in keeping with the regulatory authorities. All conference speakers are sourced internationally and are experienced in their respective domain. Many are from the USA, Europe and UK and work in academia and industrial sectors.

Today, our conferences are attended by leading biopharmaceutical industries, academic researchers (both in universities and research institutions) and developers in industries. Historically our largest conference, in terms of attendance, was held in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Dr Subramanian remains a regular contributor to biotechnology and science through the annual publication of books. The books aim to highlight the latest updates in technologies and this includes their application in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.

In the future, Dr Subramanian would like to see the international communities of industry, science, research & development, investors, and government with regulatory authorities come together to address the need and provision for the citizens at large. This can be achieved as we have seen in the current pandemic challenge.

Furthermore, our goal is to provide an electric forum to work together in advancing the technical need and operational strategy for implementing continuous manufacturing in pharma industries. Dr Subramanian would also like to continue bringing scientific communities together in a full residential conference of medium size as he sees it as both informative and enjoyable.
