Training

Aimed at anyone with an interest in working in medicines manufacturing, this popular course provides an essential introduction to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), Data Integrity and ALCOA+ principles, Method and Process Validation, and much more.

This hands-on course teaches laboratory scientists and engineers how to handle and maintain mammalian cells applying appropriate aseptic techniques as well as how to evaluate cell quality using a range of analytical assays.

The course is aimed at early career professionals and anyone who wants to develop an understanding of upstream biomanufacturing techniques and processes. This 3-day course consists of six lectures, enhanced with practical demonstrations using bench-scale, pilot-scale, and single-use bioreactors. In particular, attendees will gain hands-on fermentation experience using a 30L-scale, stainless steel, stirred tank bioreactor.

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 5-day comprehensive training course offers an end-to-end exploration of the biomanufacturing process, integrating both upstream and downstream operations into a unified, hands-on learning experience. Participants will begin by cultivating a recombinant protein using a microbial expression system in a 30 L stainless steel stirred-tank bioreactor, gaining direct experience in bioreactor setup, sterilisation, inoculation, monitoring, and harvest procedures.

This 4-day intensive training course is designed for professionals and researchers looking to advance their expertise in large-scale upstream bioprocessing, with a focus on scale-up to 300 L pilot-scale operations. Participants will explore the principles and practical steps involved in scaling microbial cell culture to production-relevant volumes, supported by expert-led lectures, live demonstrations, and hands-on training.

This 3-day hands-on training course is designed for professionals and researchers looking to develop expertise in downstream bioprocessing, covering key techniques such as Disc-stack Centrifugation, High-pressure Homogenization, Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF), and Chromatography.

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