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

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

  • Basic principles underlying the unit operations for production of biologics
  • 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

Attend and you will receive

  • 30 hours of instruction
  • Digital course materials
  • Morning coffee and tea
  • Lunch
  • Afternoon beverage break
  • Certificate of completion
