Pharmaceutical Compounding

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of biotech manufacturing processes - what makes biopharmaceutical processes different from small molecules. Course content explores the underlying principles of proteins and cells to provide the foundation for how and why processes manufacture therapeutic proteins. The course studies commonly used manufacturing process operations including cell culture and fermentation; harvest and recovery; viral removal and inactivation; purification processes such as tangential flow filtration, centrifugation, size exclusion, and adsorptive chromatography.

This advanced, hands-on training opportunity will implement the global body of knowledge of ISPE to advance the understanding of drug substance and drug product manufacturing, utilizing the commercial scale operational aspects of the Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC - located on North Carolina State Centennial Campus in Raleigh, NC) through a series of immersive and hands-on exercises that address current, real world manufacturing challenges.

This course will focus on aseptic processing and quality management regarding pharmaceutical technology. The training course will provide ample time in clean rooms for various practical exercises, allowing participants to engage in hands-on operations. These sessions will occur in the clean rooms of the EASE platform.

High-level overview of quality event management principles and practices. This course offers a high-level summary of quality event topics as an addition to the Quality Events SOP Guidance Documents package. Instead of detailing how to carry out each task, it highlights why these elements are vital for a complete quality system. The course covers the core principles of root cause analysis, CAPA implementation, and effective recall and complaint handling, ensuring learners grasp their importance for regulatory compliance and operational excellence. By the end, participants will understand…

This course considers the entire range of pharmaceutical engineering activity and identifies key attributes of GEP within it, including how GEP relates to and interfaces with GxP. The scope of GEP covers the complete lifecycle of engineering projects and engineered systems from conceptual design to retirement. GEP provides a foundation required across the pharmaceutical industry that other areas, such as GxP build upon. This course, based on ISPE Good Practice Guide: Good Engineering Practice (Second Edition) also defines and clarifies GEP as an enabling process for Quality Risk Management…
