Description

This module aims to provide students with an understanding of the main considerations in the formulation and fill finish of a biopharmaceutical.

Learning Outcomes

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

1.

Describe protein structure and what contributes to protein destabilisation.

2.

Describe what excipients are added to a protein formulation and why they are added.

3.

Explain the principles and applications of typical fill-finish and freeze-drying technologies.

4.

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

Teaching and Learning Strategies
