Course Overview

 

The number of cell and gene therapies continues to grow. Consequently, more professionals are moving into the sector to meet this growing demand. These professionals must be aware of the aseptic manufacturing requirements and processes in place which differ considerably from biotech and small molecules.

 

This course will provide you or your team with the skills and knowledge to work in an aseptic GMP environment. You will understand the clean room requirements for the manufacture of Cell or Gene Therapies. Once completed, you will become familiar with the aseptic GMP requirements which must be adopted for the manufacture of advanced medicinal products. Learn best practices for gowning, environmental monitoring and cleaning to ensure the efficient and compliant production of your product.
