Cell and Gene Therapy is fast becoming an established field that aims to utilize the power of cell-based medicines to deliver new therapies for the 21st Century. However, translating the discovery science into manufacturable products has so far been challenging and so multi-disciplinary engineers who possess unique skills are urgently needed to address the manufacture of these complex medicinal products. This course addresses the real-world challenges of translating discoveries to the clinic in a way that is commercially viable.

This module focuses on how to specify a complex bioprocess and determine its economic feasibility.
