Learning Outcomes
Learning outcomes help you work towards your educational goals.
- Analyze two different biomanufacturing processes, including the technical, financial, and environmental impact of the two options as well as the identification of the benefits and disadvantages of each.
- Demonstrate the ability to apply Quality by Design (QbD) principles as adopted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to design a robust, stable, and controlled manufacturing process for a protein pharmaceutical that can be carried out under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs).
- Perform a criticality assessment with a quality risk assessment approach to determine the Critical Process Parameters (CPPs) that would need to be monitored and controlled.
- Perform an investigation that requires analysis of an Out of Specification (OOS) deviation that occurred during a production step in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical protein.
- Produce a professional report and presentation representing their opinion regarding the advantages of selecting a specific biomanufacturing process.
- Produce a written Corrective Action Preventative Action report in a format standard to the industry. The report will include evidence to justify their conclusions and action plan.
