This training course focuses on common issues and problems in the operation of a facility and maintaining readiness for cGMP inspection. Topics include control system alarm management, common system construction deficiencies, cGMP documentation, maintaining an "inspection ready" state, frequency of testing and balancing, airflow visualization, air change rate reduction and more.

This instructor lead course is an advanced level course on Cell and Gene Therapies C&GT and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP). The course provides an overview of the most common and established components that are leveraged in C&GT products (e.g. plasmids, mRNA, lipid nanoparticles, viral vectors), covering terminology, manufacturing processes and subsequent analytical characterization of the manufactured components and therapeutic products. The adeno-associated virus (AAV) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell platforms are presented as the two most common and established therapeutic technologies for Gene Therapy and Cell Therapy, respectively. The purpose of this course it to provide a fundamental understanding of the CMC considerations for C&GT products.

This training course examines current technology and provides scenario-based exercises for system troubleshooting and investigational events for process deviations, discusses quality management and GMP inspection preparation, and provides guidance on advanced asset lifecycle management strategy.

This instructor led course is an advanced level course on Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) aspects of biopharmaceutical development. The purpose of this course is to provide an advanced understanding of the CMC considerations of biopharmaceuticals from development to commercialization. An emphasis will be placed on using Quality by Design principles to develop, manufacture and guide the product lifecycle. Lastly, we will examine biosimilars and regulatory factors that affect product development and the product lifecycle and drug costs.

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.

This course will explore the essential concepts and principles of specification, design, commissioning/qualification of equipment and systems used to store and distribute water in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The course has been substantially updated to feature the guiding principles of the ISPE Baseline® Guide: Water and Steam Systems (Second Edition) with particular emphasis placed upon the new chapters for microbial control, laboratory water and rouging.

This course will focus on aseptic processing and quality management around the most important pharmaceutical technology.

This course will cover the principles of design and operation of water systems used directly in pharmaceutical manufacturing and laboratory applications, including the essential concepts and principles of systems used to generate USP and non-compendial waters. These concepts include specification, design, operation, testing, and maintenance of equipment and systems for water generation.

This course covers the risk-based approach to cleaning development and verification; risk analysis; procedures and evaluation tools including  FMEA / FMECA, master planning, risk control, PAT, periodic assessment and monitoring, risk review and communication.
