Gain a clear overview of upstream process development for successful transfer to downstream processing
Course Overview
Balancing the demands of product quality, process productivity and scalability remain the key challenges for professionals involved in upstream process development. This course will address these core issues for both mammalian and microbial products.
Starting with cell-line development, the course will move on to focus on media selection, screening, initial upstream process development and quality concerns to help you in laying the foundations for a successful and productive process. You will explore upstream equipment in-depth and start to consider process characterisation, performance validation and scale up. You will also discuss the needs of the downstream process, how collaboration between USP and DSP teams can be facilitated and how process transfer can be addressed.
Taught by Margit Holzer, an experienced bioprocess development expert, this course will deliver a wealth of examples and discussion to help you in your learning.
