44 Years in GMP. From Inspector to Industry

Greetings!


There are very few professionals in the pharmaceutical industry who have seen Good Manufacturing Practices from both sides of the table, and even fewer who have spent over four decades doing it.


Terry Pilkey is one of them.


With 44 years across government and industry, she has conducted GMP and Medical Device inspections at Health Canada, worked hands-on in chemical analysis, and gone on to lead regulatory and quality functions at Eurofins Biopharma Product Testing Toronto. Her experience spans the full lifecycle of pharmaceutical products, from development through to compliance, audits, and regulatory readiness.


Today, as Head of Quality and Compliance at AAPS Pharma, she continues to guide professionals through what GMP actually looks like in practice, not as theory, but as decisions, systems, and consequences that play out in real environments.



It is one thing to understand GMP requirements. It is another to understand how inspectors think, what they look for, and where organizations typically fall short. That perspective only comes from experience at this level.


Terry will be speaking on April 30.


If you want to understand GMP the way it is applied in the field, this session is worth your time. A 20% discount is currently available using code SAVE20 until April 26.

20% Off Ends Today | Medical Device Regulatory Pathway (Canada)

Greetings!


A medical device rarely gets held back because the science isn’t strong. More often, it’s a decision. A classification that shifts the entire requirement. A document that doesn’t land the way it should. A submission that looks complete, but doesn’t move.


From the outside, the pathway in Canada appears structured. Classes are defined, regulations are documented, and the steps seem clear. But once you’re inside the process, it becomes a sequence of calls that determine whether something progresses smoothly or slows down without warning.


This 2-hour workshop is built around that reality. It walks through how medical devices are regulated under Health Canada, how risk-based classification actually shapes the pathway, and how market authorization is approached when these decisions are made in practice. The focus is on understanding not just what is required, but how it is applied, where submissions tend to face resistance, and how regulatory strategy supports both approval and what follows after.


The session is led by Cecile Cualing, a pharmacist and regulatory affairs professional who has worked across both pharmaceutical and medical device environments. Her experience spans Health Canada, the U.S. FDA, and notified bodies, but what distinguishes her approach is where she started. Her early work in pharmaceutical manufacturing, in formulation and quality control, shaped how she understands regulation today. It is not separate from development or production. It sits within it. That perspective carries through her regulatory work, where she has supported market authorization and lifecycle management in real settings, and it informs how she explains decisions that are often reduced to checklists.


All participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon completion. Register by April 23 to receive 20% off using code SAVE20.

FINAL CALL: NDS, CTD, eCTD - Simplified in One Focused Session

Greetings!


We are hosting a two-hour workshop for professionals working in or alongside the drug submission process. If gaps in your regulatory knowledge are slowing you down, this session is worth your time.


The workshop covers the full New Drug Submission process - from drug development and notice types, through to submission formatting, priority review policy, and the Common Technical Document (CTD). A focused portion addresses eCTD submissions specifically, including where and why applications get screened out before they ever reach review.


It is particularly relevant for regulatory affairs specialists, drug development professionals, quality assurance personnel, and anyone involved in the preparation or filing of new drug submissions.


By the end of the session, you will have a clear, working understanding of what a compliant submission looks like, how the approval process is structured, and where most applicants go wrong.


The session will be led by Abdul Hadi Zubair, PMP, Technical Manager - Supplier Quality at Roche and Professor in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs programs. With close to a decade of experience across organizations such as Roche, Bayer, and Elanco, he has been directly involved in the approval and launch of clinical and commercial products, while leading quality systems and ensuring consistent GMP compliance. His experience spans both industry execution and academic instruction, where he regularly trains and mentors professionals in regulatory frameworks, submission strategy, and quality systems.


His background combines strong technical depth with structured project and quality management expertise, supported by certifications in PMP, Lean Six Sigma, and Regulatory Affairs, along with advanced training from the University of Toronto. This allows him to bring not just theory, but real-world insight into how submissions are evaluated, where they fail, and what actually works in practice.
