NCTM1102 – Understanding the Sicnece of the Biopharmaceutical Industry
August 31, 2020 @ 8:00 am
*Online Course
Further instruction will be sent after registration.
Description
This asynchronous online course provides a pragmatic study in the scientific principles of microbiology, immunology, and basic biochemistry that create the foundation for developing and manufacturing biopharmaceutical products. Curriculum covers biological macromolecules, an intensive study of infectious and non-infectious diseases, the immune system’s structure and function, pathogenesis, and categories, uses, and development process of biotherapeutics and vaccines.
What you will learn
- Understand the history and manufacturing process of biopharmaceuticals, FDA mandates, structure and role of biomolecules, differentiate between infectious diseases caused by pathogenic organisms, viruses and noninfectious diseases, genetic and environmental factors that influence it.
- Elucidate function and cells of the immune system. Differentiate between innate and adaptive immune system, active and passive immunity and primary and secondary immune response.
- Introduce and explain with examples Recombinant DNA technology, protein therapeutics, gene therapy, targeting activity, monoclonal antibodies, vaccines – types, whole vs. partial organism, DNA, effectiveness and duration of immune memory with cost of development, biosimilars.
