AI is already operating across pharma. The harder question is where it is actually delivering value, where it remains a pilot, and where the claims outrun reality.

Jason Chu, Director of Operations, hosts our upcoming webinar, examining AI across drug discovery, clinical research, supply chain, quality and regulatory affairs, grounded in published evidence and what industry professionals are seeing inside their functions today.

AAPS at the University of Toronto Mississauga! 🎓

Yesterday, our team had the opportunity to connect with students at the University of Toronto Mississauga Graduate & Professional Schools Fair, sharing insights into career pathways and specialized training opportunities across pharmaceutical sciences, healthcare, food, and technology.

It was great meeting so many students exploring what comes next, answering questions, and having conversations about where their education and career goals can take them.

Thank you to UTM for having us, and to everyone who stopped by the AAPS booth to say hello!

Some evenings remind us why bringing people together still matters.

Yesterday’s Fall Networking Event brought the AAPS community together for an evening of conversations, introductions, shared experiences, and new connections.

Students had the opportunity to meet fellow members of the AAPS community, connect with Career Services, exchange ideas, explore our facilities, and have the kinds of conversations that don’t always happen inside a classroom.

What stood out most was the energy throughout the evening. People stayed. They talked. They asked questions. They introduced themselves to someone new. And, in many cases, conversations that began with a name tag and a handshake carried on well beyond the introduction.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening what it was, and to our team for bringing it all together.

Here’s to the conversations that started yesterday, and where they might lead next. 💙🧡

Catch our Director of Operations at IMAX! 🎬

Today, our Director of Operations, Jason Chu, had the opportunity to speak with students in the Biomedical Sciences program at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) about Careers in Pharma.

From Quality Control and Quality Assurance to Pharmacovigilance and beyond, the session turned into a great interactive discussion, with plenty of thoughtful questions from students exploring where a biomedical sciences background can take them.

A big thank you to Professor Joseph McPhee for the invitation and the opportunity to connect with TMU’s future professionals!

A special welcome back to AAPS. 💙🧡

Our team was delighted to welcome AAPS President Laleh Bighash back to campus today with a small celebration marking the arrival of her second granddaughter, Ara.

A little cake, a personalized gift, and plenty of warm wishes made for a lovely start to the week.

A food-processing surface can look spotless and still require verification. Explore how inspections, swabbing, environmental monitoring, and testing help food manufacturers determine whether sanitation controls are actually working.

AI is already finding its way into pharmaceutical quality systems. The more important question is whether the controls around it have caught up.

In April 2026, the FDA issued a warning letter that explicitly addressed inappropriate use of artificial intelligence in pharmaceutical manufacturing. But the implications extend well beyond one enforcement action.

Our upcoming webinar, **AI in the Quality Unit: What FDA’s First AI Warning Letter Didn’t Tell You**, looks at where AI-generated content can quietly enter controlled processes, how those risks differ depending on the way AI is being used, and how existing quality systems can be adapted to govern it.

For professionals across QA, QC, Regulatory Affairs, CMC and validation, this is an opportunity to move the AI conversation away from abstraction and into the realities of documentation, attribution, training, validation and regulatory oversight.

And for this session, we’re opening the conversation a little wider. Use SAVE99 at registration to quietly take the $99 cost out of the equation. Visit aapspharma.com/events to register

What does GMP training look like when it moves beyond the textbook? At AAPS College, Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance and Quality Control students train in a state-of-the-art laboratory that simulates a GMP environment while developing skills in pharmaceutical testing, HPLC, manufacturing, auditing, regulatory affairs, and quality documentation. Explore how this hands-on approach helps connect GMP requirements with real pharmaceutical quality work.

Explore GMP training in pharmaceutical quality and how simulated GMP environments help students build practical, compliance-focused skills.
