An Overview of Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Processes (T24)

Level: Intermediate
ISPE CEUs: 1.5
Type: Classroom Training Course
Includes Webinar

Description

This course provides an overview of biotech manufacturing processes used to make biopharmaceuticals. The course surveys commonly used manufacturing processes, including cell culture and fermentation; harvest and recovery; viral removal and inactivation; and purification processes such as tangential flow filtration, centrifugation, and size exclusion and adsorptive chromatography. Course covers the underlying principles of proteins and cells to provide a basic understanding of how and why the processes manufacture therapeutic proteins. These principles are used to explain and provide a basic understanding of the following important topics:

• Why proteins behave the way they do; the basics of biotechnology
• Identify and discuss important operating parameters for each bioprocess unit operation and how they impact process performance
• What parameters are important for process validation
• Critical factors for developing a viable commercial manufacturing process
• What the attributes of a "good biotech process" are for successful manufacturing
• Tools used to successfully develop biotech processes
• Process/Facility relationships
• Industry trends and future developments in biotech manufacturing processes
• The impact of single use systems in bioprocesses
• A look at technology transfer

Immediately apply the course learning objectives with the complimentary copy of the ISPE Guide: Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing and Process Development.

Community of Practice (COP)

This training course is of particular interest to existing and future members of the ISPE Biotechnology Community of Practice (COP).

CPIP™ Technical Knowledge and Competency Elements

This course contains knowledge related to the CPIP™ technical knowledge competency element Product Development: Formulation, clinical phases and manufacture. For complete information concerning the knowledge elements or the CPIP Credential, please visit www.ISPE-PCC.org.

Continuing Education Units 

ISPE will provide continuing education units (ISPE CEUs) for all North American seminars and courses, including educational programming at the ISPE Annual Meeting. CEUs are nationally recognized units of achievement designed for those individuals continuing their education in their chosen field or profession.

Delegates attending European seminars and courses will receive a Certificate of Attendance, as ISPE CEUs are currently not offered at European events. Verification of CEUs is based on attendance as well as satisfactory completion of all evaluation materials. Statements of credit will be sent via email within four weeks of evaluation materials. One hour of education programming equals 0.1 ISPE CEU credits.
