Overview
CASTL delivers interactive nanotrainings (short, highly focused learning modules designed to build a specific skill or understanding in a concise, efficient format) using state-of-the-art equipment at our GMP-simulated training facilities in Charlottetown, Montreal, and Vancouver. These sessions feature practical, hands-on components and are structured to introduce participants to the operating environment, core systems, key equipment, and fundamental unit operations found in modern biopharma manufacturing facilities.
Why It’s Essential
Access to operational biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities is restricted due to the complexity and regulatory requirements of the environment. CASTL’s GMP-simulated training facilities provide a practical, accessible introduction to the skills and competencies needed to succeed in this setting. By combining these facilities with a hands-on, industry-informed approach, CASTL equips learners with foundational capabilities and inspires them to pursue opportunities in the biopharma manufacturing sector.
Learning Objectives
CASTL nanotrainings can be customized to the needs of your group and focus on the following areas:
Manufacturing and production techniques:
- Upstream, downstream, biomanufacturing processes
- Core lab skills, aseptic techniques, single-use technology
cGMP and quality
- Quality systems, contamination control, industry best practices
Biopharma modalities
CASTL will customize the training experience based on the biopharmaceutical modality most relevant to you, including RNA therapeutics, cell therapies, and monoclonal antibodies.
Who Should Attend
CASTL nanotrainings are designed for groups of 6 to 25 students, researchers, and instructors in relevant scientific programs, as a complement to classroom and practical sessions.
