Upcoming Webinars

ISAM is pleased to announce the next Webinar presented by Clair Brooks, Applications Specialist at Copley Scientific, Nottingham, England, UK. She will explore the latest advancements in nasal drug delivery, focusing on in-vitro testing methods and innovative tools for improved nasal deposition.Key points:• Utilising the intranasal route for systemic and nose-to brain drug delivery • Compendial in vitro testing requirements of nasal drug products • Challenges and developments in nasal testing• Studying nasal deposition with the Alberta Idealised Nasal Inlet and the Kiel Nasal InletNasal drug delivery presents a promising avenue for therapeutic administration, offering a non-invasive route that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and hepatic first-pass metabolism. This method has become increasingly attractive for systemic drug administration, particularly for drugs that are poorly absorbed orally, as it utilises the highly vascularised and large surface area of the nasal mucosa for rapid absorption. Additionally, the permeability of the nasal mucosa and its nerve pathways are being utilised to achieve targeted drug delivery to the brain, effectively overcoming the blood-brain barrier. Rigorous testing is vital to ensure the safety, efficacy and quality of these products, and compendial in-vitro testing methods play a key role in evaluating product performance and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. However, challenges remain in replicating physiological conditions and addressing patient-to-patient variability. Ongoing research and technological advancements continue to drive progress in this area, including the development of realistic nasal models to improve in vitro-in vivo correlations and automated device actuation to standardise dose delivery when evaluating bioequivalence. This webinar explores the advancements in in-vitro nasal testing and presents recent studies using two novel tools to look at nasal deposition.

As the demand for AI capabilities grows, LLMs and other ML models are increasingly included in the software that we develop and consume.Of particular note are Pickle files, which represent 83.5% of all ML models. Their popularity has attracted the eye of threat actors and has become a new attack vector of choice.To help businesses stay ahead of the threat, ReversingLabs has developed the ability to detect malicious machine learning models and identify unsafe function calls during deserialization, flag unusual behaviors, and automatically classify models exhibiting these behaviors as suspicious or malicious.Join this webinar to learn:✓ What exactly ML models are and why they’re important ✓ The distinction between API and ML models and the role of each✓ Why ML models are so frequently shared and, unfortunately, abused✓ The serialization and deserialization process and how it’s used to spread malware✓ How ReversingLabs has developed the capability to detect ML malware before it can cause harmRegister Now

Resource management is a major challenge for project teams, often due to a lack of control over resource requests and allocation, as well as limited visibility into demand and capacity. In this session, you'll see our Resource Management plugin in action. This tool helps you assemble the right team for your projects and understand their workload capacity, allowing you to identify potential bottlenecks or gaps before they become obstacles.

Cybersecurity is essential for reducing the risks linked to Business Email Compromise (BEC), wire fraud, and electronic funds transfer (ETF) threats. It involves a comprehensive set of strategies that focus on mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities, combating the effects of AI-generated deep fakes, and gaining insight into the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by malicious actors.In this webinar presented by the McDonald Hopkins’ Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice Group, Kevin Baker (Chief Information Security Officer at Fortress Security Risk Management) will join attorneys Robert Cohen and Kate Furstenau to discuss effective protection strategies, what constitutes a data breach and understanding the recovery process.Topics include:• Cybersecurity's role in preventing BEC/wire fraud/ETF• Threat Actor TTP's• Breach, privacy and reporting• Notice requirements• Recovery of electronically transferred funds• Best practices for preventionSpeakers: Robert Cohen, Member; Kate Furstenau, Associate; Kevin Baker, Chief Information Security Officer, Fortress Security.
