Interview with Dr. Birgit Schumacher, General Manager and Site Manager Martinsried of GBA Pharma GmbH

GBA Pharma GmbH is one of the leading service providers for the pharmaceutical industry in Europe. The company supports its customers along the entire pharmaceutical value chain, from the optimization of drug candidates to global clinical trials. Wirtschaftsforum spoke with Dr. Birgit Schumacher, General Manager and Site Manager Martinsried, about the company's development over the past three years and its importance for patient safety.

Already in the field, crops take up contaminants such as heavy metals from the soil. The uptake of contaminants like lead and cadmium by crops is a pathway of dietary exposure to contaminants that has been understudied. Heavy metal testing is a routine parameter of the GBA Group.

Fertilizers, pesticides or heavy metals can significantly influence the soil ecosystem. But this is where the plants that feed us grow. That's why GBA Group's accredited laboratories investigate whether remediation measures are necessary or whether sediments, for example, can be reused without hesitation.
