  • (1888PressRelease) November 12, 2013 - SFL is pleased to announce that Shayesteh Fürst-Ladani, Managing Director of the company, will be giving a presentation at Informa's 8th Annual Drug Device Combination Products event, which will be held on 19-20 November in Berlin.

    During the afternoon session on Wednesday 20 November, Ms. Fürst-Ladani will give a presentation entitled "Overview of current and future clinical data requirements for combination products." In her wide-ranging presentation, she will outline the clinical strategies suitable to support combination products applications, examine the current requirements and discuss proposed changes in the revision of the Medical Devices Directives.
