Description

With consolidation in the industry and the advent of multinational pharmaceutical companies, the transfer of expertise and technology for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) between manufacturing sites has become a commonplace occurrence. It is important to have a standardized methodology - to accommodate an increased movement and to complete the transfers in a timely and approvable manner. The ISPE Good Practice Guide: Technology Transfer describes this type of standard methodology.

Taking principles from ISPE Good Practice Guide: Technology Transfer and using the Guide as a textbook, the course will cover technology transfer of APIs and fundamentals of analytical methodology to assist in the challenges faced during API transfer. Participants will take part in exercises to demonstrate the principles presented and have additional opportunities to discuss their specific situations.

Participants will receive a complimentary copy of the ISPE Good Practice Guide: Technology Transfer.
