BTEC Short Course: Hands-On cGMP Biomanufacturing Operations

Why should you attend?

To obtain a basic knowledge of biomanufacturing operations and how cGMP requirements are implemented at commercial scale. Engage in pilot-scale laboratory experiences that examine process utilities, media and solution preparation, bioreactor operation, centrifugation, chromatography, and tangential flow filtration in a simulated commercial cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) facility.

Attend and you will learn

• How cGMP expectations are met in a biomanufacturing facility
• How clean process utilities are produced
• To prepare sterile fermentation media and solutions required for downstream processing
• To clean, prepare, and operate bioreactors, centrifuges, chromatography systems, and tangential flow filtration systems
• Basic principles underlying the unit operations for production of biologics
• How to monitor and/or manipulate control parameters that result in a process that meets production expectations
   

Who should attend

Anyone interested in obtaining a basic knowledge of large-scale biomanufacturing operations and applying that knowledge in a simulated cGMP environment, such as the following:

• New biomanufacturing employees, including scientists and engineers
• Biomanufacturing support personnel who may not be directly involved with the process they support
• Vendors who supply the biomanufacturing industry with equipment and components
• Incumbent workers looking to enter the biomanufacturing industry
