title: Highlights from the 2014 Applied Pharmaceutical Analysis conference.
abstract: The 10th annual Applied Pharmaceutical Analysis (APA) conference was held from 8th to 10th September in Cambridge, MA, USA. This year's APA conference focused on three different 'workshops' over the 3 days: Regulated Bioanalysis, Biotransformation, and Discovery. There was a great amount of information discussed by a variety of experts over the 3 days. This included, among other things; speakers from the US FDA discussing statute changes and guidelines, leaders from academic laboratories discussing innovation in bioanalytical tools, and industry scientists discussing current trends in the industry. The conference afforded attendees the opportunity to learn from the speakers during their sessions. In addition, there was ample opportunity for attendees and speakers both to learn from each other through informal interactions.
