Industry field:
Biopharmaceutical industry
Course description:
Firms manufacturing biotechnology-derived pharmaceuticals face special requirements in the validation of their processes and rigorous scrutiny from Regulatory Agencies that are well aware of the extent to which the process defines the product in this field. This course reviews and interprets the specific regulatory requirements, provides examples of the required documentation, and discusses current industry trends and regulatory hot topics.

One of the recent FDA initiatives is to incorporate quality by design during product development. A rational approach is presented to include consideration for Process Validation in all aspects of development. Special emphasis is given to parameter selection and evaluation, such as determining criticality, how to set valid ranges and when to use worst case studies.
