Objectives

This Live Online Training will provide non-Biotechnologists with an overview and insight in pharmaceutical biotechnology. It will also present the opportunities of biotechnology in GMP manufacturing.

Common aspects of production analytics will be discussed just as well as regulatory aspects of Biopharmaceuticals (bacteria and cell culture) and specific requirements on clinical studies and marketing authorisation. It will furthermore concentrate on topics like virus reduction, cell banking, media fills and dedicated rooms and personnel.

Background

From a historical view, biopharmaceuticals are no new business. Antibiotics and vaccines have been well known for more than 60 years. But with the marketing authorisation of the first pharmaceutical product, produced by gene technology in the 80s, a new era of biopharmaceutical and biotechnological development and manufacturing started.

In 2007, 20% of all new released pharmaceuticals were biopharmaceuticals. Future pharmaceutical products based on biotechnology and the biosimilars (Biogenerics) will become more and more important and present a higher share of pharmaceutical products.

Target Group

This Live Online Training is addressed to all people interested in pharmaceutical biotechnology related to GMP manufacturing and marketing authorisation.

Technical Details:

To participate in an on demand training course or webinar, you do not need any software. The recordings are made available via a streaming server. In general, the recording is provided in MP4 format, which any PC (Microsoft Windows, Apple IOS) or tablet can easily display.
