Overview

Biopharmaceuticals are among the most complex products in modern medicine, and their manufacturing processes are equally sophisticated. This course offers a clear, comprehensive overview of the biopharmaceutical manufacturing journey, from vial to vial. Through a combination of expert-led presentations and virtual facility tours, participants gain insight into real-world manufacturing environments, understanding how each stage connects to ensure product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.

Why It’s Essential

Understanding the full scope of biopharmaceutical manufacturing enables professionals to see beyond individual tasks and appreciate how each step contributes to overall product quality and compliance. This broader perspective fosters stronger cross-functional collaboration, supports informed decision-making, and builds the foundational knowledge needed to operate effectively in GMP-regulated environments.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the unit operations in upstream, downstream, and fill-finish in a biopharmaceutical production process

• Review the equipment used in biopharmaceutical production

• Describe the need for aseptic processing in a cleanroom environment

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for individuals across the biopharmaceutical industry who seek a fundamental understanding of bioprocessing, including:

• Operators and technicians supporting day-to-day bioprocess operations
• Engineers involved in upstream, downstream, or overall process development and manufacturing
• QA/QC associates ensuring quality, compliance, and product integrity across process stages
• Managers overseeing production, technical teams, or facility operations
• Clinical trial personnel working with investigational biologics or supporting manufacturing-readiness
• Supply chain professionals responsible for materials, logistics, or production planning
• Anyone working directly or indirectly in the manufacturing and development of biopharmaceutical products

Participants who successfully complete a theoretical assessment will receive a certificate of completion.
