Description
This Biopharma laboratory practical module will provide students with practical knowledge, know-how and practical skills associated with biopharmaceutical operations. The relevant learning is achieved through the completion of a sequence of laboratory-based and pilot-plant based practicals and experiments that are designed to impart the required expertise. There will also be some research project work associated with the laboratory practicals.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Demonstrate a range of practical knowledge and skills associated with upstream bioprocessing operations
2.
Demonstrate a range of practical knowledge and skills associated downstream bioprocessing operations.
3.
Demonstrate a range of practical knowledge and skills associated with aseptic processing and filling operations
4.
Perform project work related to the practical sessions
5.
Evaluate the data and results obtained from the practical sessions
6.
Demonstrate effective communication skills in a written format.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
as above
Module Assessment Strategies
The assessment strategy will comprise of both observation of skills being acquired as well as formal assessment of knowledge acquisition. There will be a project research element associated with the assessment strategy also.
The miniproject is a MANDATORY form of assessment for any modules on this programme with a miniproject component.
Repeat Assessments
.
Indicative Syllabus
The range of lab-based and pilot plant-based practical sessions may include some or all of the following:
- Facility Tour - overview of all aspects of the bioprocess – upstream, harvest, downstream and fill finish, along with associated services such as buffer prep, media prep, and clean utilities that service the plant.
- Cell Culture Processing - aseptic technique, cell culturing, cell sampling, counting and substrate analysis.
- Downstream Processing - protein concentration using ultrafiltration and buffer exchange using diafiltration.
- Aseptic Procssing - contamination control, filling line operation and glove integrity testing.
