Training

This course, delivered in partnership with Cytiva, will examine process technologies and their operation for end-to-end ATMP production.

Learn what sustainability is, how medicines manufacturers are aligning their Environmental, Social and Governance objectives with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, how to integrate sustainability into the key stages of medicines development, and metrics used in the industry to assess environmental and resource impacts.

This 3-day course provides hands-on fermentation experience using a 300L-scale, stainless steel, stirred tank bioreactor.

Blending interactive learning and network building, this course will cover: fundamentals on biology, production and use of ATMP medicines; the clinical landscape of ATMPs in trials and on the market; sources of risk in delivering cell products to the clinic; and clinical user perspectives and workshop.

GMP (good manufacturing practice) is the important element of Quality management to ensure medicines manufactured are of highest quality that meets the required regulatory standards. This 2-day in person course is for anyone with an interest in working in Quality in GMP Industry including QC, QA and manufacturing personnel, graduates or research scientists looking to establish their career in GMP/ ATMP industry.

Delivered through two sequential "My Future Plan" workshops, this programme is geared around identifying and nurturing our next generation of medicines manufacturing industry leaders and accelerating personal skills development.

In medicines manufacturing, maintaining strict cleanroom behaviours is absolutely critical to ensure patient safety. Cleanroom and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) behaviours are essential for safeguarding product quality, ensuring efficacy, and meeting regulatory compliance standards. During this two-day, in-person course you will develop an understanding of GMP cleanrooms at different scales, environmental monitoring, contamination control strategies, and health and safety in GMP facilities.

A 5-day course providing integrated upstream & downstream bioprocessing training.

Learn how quality, risks, and failures are measured and documented in GMP medicines manufacturing. Over this two-day course you will learn how to apply Quality by Design, identify key quality and process factors, and set up strong Quality Management Systems to ensure safe, consistent products.​

This five-day course provides in-depth training in the benefits, strategies and concepts control in industrial biomanufacturing, including the challenges and operational complexity in maintaining productivity, efficiency, and quality in the bioprocessing environment and on multi-unit production lines. This course moves on from standard control strategies, to look at achieving operational efficiency through state-of-the-art process automation, control, and process analytical technology (PAT).

In this advanced course, trainees develop greater understanding of upstream processing techniques with a particular focus on emerging trends and disruptive technologies. Course content is tailored toward mammalian cell lines, with a larger focus placed on suspension and intensified systems. Learning achieved by lectures, classroom activities and laboratory demonstrations.

In this advanced course, trainees develop greater understanding of downstream processing techniques with a particular focus on emerging trends and disruptive technologies. Course content is tailored toward purification strategies for recombinant proteins and AAVs. Learning achieved by lectures, classroom activities and laboratory demonstrations.

In this introductory course, trainees develop the hands-on skills required to perform within a downstream bioprocessing development role. Course content is tailored toward purification strategies for recombinant proteins and AAVs. Learning achieved lectures, classroom activities and lab based practicals.

In this introductory course, trainees develop the hands-on skills required to perform within an upstream bioprocessing development role. Course content is tailored toward mammalian cell culture of CHO and HEK cells. Learning achieved lectures, classroom activities and lab based practicals.

The concept of ‘impact’ is increasingly important in research and higher education, but what exactly is it, why is it important, and how might individuals or groups achieve it? . This course helps post-graduates and early-stage researchers explore these questions over the course of an informative, interactive and entertaining day.
