NCTM1110 – Upstream Manufacturing

Description

Hands-on training provides a comprehensive overview of the techniques and challenges involved in the upstream processes for manufacturing biologics. Lectures and laboratories cover types of biologic products, an overview of upstream processes, producing biomass using various platforms, an overview of cell lines, an overview of bioreactors and their operation, and the analytics used to evaluate upstream production. Practical training includes preparation and proper labeling of reagents and media; aseptic technique; plasmid extraction, purification, and quantitation; restriction enzyme digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis; cell banking, counting and passaging; bioreactor assembly, sterilization, and operation; microbial cultivation and inoculation of seed culture; fed‐batch and batch fermentation, and harvest and storage of biomass. Quality systems and analytics relating to upstream manufacturing processes are also integrated throughout the week, and traditional/reusable versus single‐use systems are covered.
