Description
This module aims to provide students with a detailed knowledge and understanding of the various analytical assays routinely employed in the analysis of critical quality attributes (CQAs) of biopharmaceuticals. These analytical assays are used to assess the raw material, in-process, bulk drug substance and finished product quality attributes.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Outline and evaluate the various assays/tests methods and instrumentation routinely employed in the analysis of Biopharmaceuticals.
2.
Formulate and communicate judgements with regard to the complexities and challenges in the analysis of biologics.
3.
Analyse, evaluate and draw conclusions from data presented in problem solving exercises.
4.
Perform research on a relevant topic and analyse, evaluate and draw conclusions accordingly.
5.
Communicate and explain scientific data relating to bioanalytics.
