A biopharmaceutical symposium, BASS XIX, will be held November 5–9 at the Mulberry Inn Suites in historic Savannah, Georgia. At least 16 one-hour tutorials on diverse topics pertinent to the research, clinical development, and regulation of pharmaceuticals will be presented from November 5–7 by speakers from academia, the pharmaceutical industry, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Four parallel two-day short courses will be presented November 7–9. Highlights of the symposium include the keynote address and reception on November 5 and the FDA biometrics session on November 7.

BASS is a nonprofit entity, sponsored by the department of biostatistics at Virginia Commonwealth University and the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health at Georgia Southern University. Its purpose is to raise funds for graduate fellowships in biostatistics.
