Hands-On CGMP Biomanufacturing Operations
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.
