Core Facility Workshops- Quality Audits of Cores: Awareness and Preparedness

Core Facility Workshops- Quality Audits of Cores: Awareness and Preparedness opens in a new tab – Thursday 2/9/2023 (Registration Required)

Core labs that work with biotech/pharma companies or federal agencies may be subject to mandatory quality audits, based on company policy and GLP standards. In this workshop, we will discuss what a quality audit entails, how to prepare standard operating procedures (SOPs), and the resources available to ensure a successful audit. Dr. Chris Gregory, Director of the SOM Office of Research Technologies, will present this with the experience of having guided multiple UNC cores through the audit process and of undergoing quality audits at pharmaceutical companies—come with any questions about the process and how you can prepare ahead of an audit! Register here for an IN-PERSON session (held in Genetics Medicine Building) on February 9th opens in a new tab – spots are limited.
