Objectives

This pre-conference session highlights the key aspects of GMP compliant manufacture of biotechnologically derived APIs. You will get to know the key requirements of the revised Annex 15.

For example you will learn:
what a GMP inspector expects from a GMP compliant manufacturing site
how microbial control strategies can be implemented in cell culture and downstream processing
which key points should be considered when developing analytical test procedures
what the revised Annex 15 requires for cleaning procedures and their validation

Moreover you will get to know the key aspects of the European Biosimilar approach.
This pre-conference session ideally complements the following 18th APIC/CEFIC European Conference on Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.

Target Group

This pre-conference session is designed for all persons involved in the manufacture of biotechnologically derived APIs especially for persons from production, quality control, quality assurance and control, technical and regulatory affairs departments. We are also addressing interested parties from the pharmaceutical industry and GMP inspectorate
