Bioproduction engineer

This module introduces the fundamentals of Upstream (cell culture – USP) and Downstream (purification – DSP) process development, detailing industrial objectives, the role of CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) teams, and the core principles of the Quality by Design (QbD) approach.It is based on key reference frameworks such as Quality by Design (QbD), the concept of Design Space (a defined and controlled operational range for a process), the definition and monitoring of Critical Process Parameters (CPPs) – manufacturing variables that must be controlled – and Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) – product-related quality criteria. It also relies on the associated regulatory documentation supporting the control strategy throughout the development lifecycle.Digital modalities : Activity 1: eLearning   / Activity 2: Serious Game 2D   / Activity 3: eLearningTarget audience : Employees integrating or working in R&D or bioproduction laboratories (senior technicians, engineers, researchers, managers) wishing to integrate the teams of Process Development and/or Technology TransferPersonnel initiated in biotechnology working in support functions (Quality Assurance, Analysis, Regulatory), Partners (suppliers, subcontractors, consultants, CMOs) operating in bioproduction and pharmaceutical industry or Public from the academic environment wishing to understand the industrial environment and development issues, the technology transfer and biomedecine production.Evaluation procedures :A short evaluation at the end of the module confirming what you have learnt and enabling you to move to the next one ( 80% of correct answers required).
