Downstream

This course can count toward your Professional Certificate in Biomanufacturing Science.

Why should you attend?

In this three-day course, you will learn the colloidal and macromolecular molecular-level physical science concepts that underlie biologic downstream processing and biopharmaceutical formulation science.

Attend and you will learn

  • What biomacromolecule physical properties are exploited in downstream processing—size, charge and hydrophobicity—and how to characterize them experimentally
  • What factors affect biomacromolecule conformational stability and methods to quantify conformational stability
  • Why proteins are susceptible to aggregation and experimental methods for assessing colloidal stability and the extent of aggregation
  • What molecular-level phenomena impact filtration operations and how they are manifested in practice
  • How molecular-level physical science phenomena impact chromatography retention mechanisms and processing parameters

Who should attend

Those interested in obtaining a basic knowledge of the molecular-level physical science that underlies downstream processing and biopharmaceutical formulation, including the following:

  • Biomanufacturing personnel
  • Process development personnel
  • Pharmaceutical formulation personnel

Attend and you will receive

  • 21 hours of instruction (2.1 Continuing Education Units)
  • Notebook containing all course lecture and lab materials
  • Morning coffee and tea
  • Lunch
  • Afternoon beverage break
  • Certificate of completion
