Course outline
The production of biopharmaceuticals is underpinned by key bioprocessing practices which use living cells to obtain a desired product. The design and modification of the bioprocess enables the industrial production of an array of biopharmaceuticals.
This one day course delivers the NIBRT’s industry training curriculum to provide participants from a non-biopharma background a solid introduction to key principles and techniques in bioprocessing.
In this course, participants will gain comprehensive knowledge on biopharmaceutical manufacturing, including an introduction to key upstream and downstream processes. You will also learn the importance of cleanroom operations in a GMP-lite environment, and understand how single-use technologies are facilitating competitive and economical solutions to bioprocessing.
Key topics covered
- Introduction to biopharmaceuticals and bioprocessing
- Overview of upstream and downstream operations
- Introduction to single-use technologies in bioprocessing
- Cleanroom classification and contamination control
- UTS Biologics Innovation Facility overview and tour.
