Gain an understanding of the practical requirements for biopharm CMC studies to support strategic decisions, budgets and timeframes
For biotech and biosimilar products
Course Overview
This course will provide attendees with a concise but comprehensive overview of all relevant regulatory, technical and quality elements necessary to assure successful design, implementation and documentation of the required CMC analytical and stability studies for biotechnology products, including biosimilar products. Key deliverables from each phase of development will be illustrated. Current ‘hot-button’ CMC analytical and stability issues will be presented, and strategies for preventing (or remediating) gaps will be presented.
Live Online Academies
Gain real-time access to a subject matter expert delivering online training in a structured virtual classroom environment. Live online academies are virtual versions of some of our most popular face-to-face courses, delivered in bitesize sessions of 1.5-3.5 hours online.
Over 2 weeks students will learn through:
- Live interactive bitesize sessions
- Direct interaction with the trainer during live sessions
- Participation in interactive features within sessions including polls, Q&A, break out rooms, tasks, case studies, and more
- Revisiting recorded sessions with unlimited access for 30 days
- Interaction with peers during live sessions and through the online forum
Timings and dates are subject to change - final confirmation will be provided with login details. Delegates will receive login instructions within a week of the course start date. If you have any questions please contact lifesciences-training@informa.com.
