Description

This course aims to provide the student with a general understanding of the various aspects of process and support systems validation for the manufacturing of modern biopharmaceuticals. It will also deal with the various risks inherent in bioprocessing technologies and how the application of effective validation systems and methodologies assists in the control and management of such risks.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Describe the main stages involved in a systematic approach to the validation of bioprocessing systems.

2.

Describe the main steps involved in the process validation of  biopharmaceutical cell culture processing.

3.

Describe the main steps involved in the process validation of biopharmaceutical protein purification and fill-finish operation.

4.

Describe the validation approach for  viral control technologies for biopharmaceutical manufacture.                     

5.

Perform some research on a relevant topic and analyse, evaluate and draw conclusions accordingly.

6.

Communicate and explain scientific data relating to biopharmaceutical validation.
