Description

This module will provide students with an overview of the technical and managerial challenges associated with the design and construction of a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility.  It will address all the major elements of these projects from site master planning through conceptual and detailed design and onto commissioning and qualification.  It will also cover such associated project aspects as overall planning, budgeting and the organisational systems and structures required to successfully execute such major investments. 

An overview of how biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities operate will also be addressed so as the design of the facility from the material and personnel flows through to the process controls and automation, meet the needs of the operations personnel after the facility is brought into production.

Learning Outcomes

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

1.

Effectively plan the major elements of an investment in a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility.

2.

Evaluate and communicate the complex interconnecting elements of these major capital projects.

3.

Identify and address the operational requirements for the manufacturing facility within the design.

4.

Recognise and describe the main stages of facility design including cleanrooms and associated technology.

5.

Critically evaluate the principal steps involved in the overall commissioning and qualification of a new or modified biopharmaceutical facility.

6.

Appraise the typical organisational control systems and structures required for biopharmaceutical facility design and operation.

Pharmaceutical Biotechnology offers students taking Pharmacy and related Medical and Pharmaceutical courses a comprehensive introduction to the fast-moving area of biopharmaceuticals. With a particular focus on the subject taken from a pharmaceutical perspective, initial chapters offer a broad introduction to protein science and recombinant DNA technology- key areas that underpin the whole subject. Subsequent chapters focus upon the development, production and analysis of these substances. Finally the book moves on to explore the science, biotechnology and medical applications of specific biotech products categories. These include not only protein-based substances but also nucleic acid and cell-based products. introduces essential principles underlining modern biotechnology- recombinant DNA technology and protein science an invaluable introduction to this fast-moving subject aimed specifically at pharmacy and medical students includes specific product category chapters focusing on the pharmaceutical, medical and therapeutic properties of numerous biopharmaceutical products. entire chapter devoted to the principles of genetic engineering and how these drugs are developed. includes numerous relevant case studies to enhance student understanding no prior knowledge of protein structure is assumed
