MSS is a three-day scientific symposium dedicated to purification solutions from development to manufacturing, integrating advanced analytics for gene therapies, vaccines, and biological products like plasma, proteins, and enzymes. Our mission is to disseminate knowledge on purification and analytical technologies while fostering partnerships between technology suppliers and acquirers. This international forum enables researchers and scientists from both industry and academia to share the latest advances in biopharma.
The MSS series is guided by a scientific committee responsible for oversight and organizational direction, ensuring continuity, agenda, and high scientific and technological standards, while shaping long-term strategy, policy, and programming vision.
MSS2026 will be held in Bled, Slovenia, featuring a new format with three presentation streams and limited wet-lab workshops on various topics. This setup ensures that lectures and workshops on the same application do not overlap, offering a balance of information and hands-on skills. Attendees will gain practical guidance to enhance their processes and save valuable time in the lab.
This event is an excellent opportunity to expand your technical knowledge and network through unique social events. Attendance is limited, providing an ideal setting for discussion and learning.
