Zielsetzung

The course aims to explain the complex nature of viruses that move between the concepts of life and death. It provides participants with a fundamental understanding of viral and pathogen safety in the pharmaceutical industry. Participants will acquire basic knowledge of virology, including the physiology of viruses, their replication cycles, transmission routes and resistance mechanisms. This knowledge is essential for risk assessment and the development of safety strategies.

In addition, the programme teaches advanced safety strategies for dealing with viruses and testing methods, including NGS (next generation sequencing) and other modern diagnostic methods. Participants will learn best practices for viral inactivation and validation to ensure products meet industry requirements and global regulatory frameworks such as ICH Q5A, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the European Pharmacopoeia.

The course also provides practical insights into the control of viral contamination, including risk mitigation strategies through facility segregation, risk analysis and contamination risk management. Finally, advanced virus detection methods, including NGS, and safety-related aspects of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP), such as gene and cell-based therapies, will be highlighted.

Hintergrund

The past has shown us that the development and production of vaccines can also attract enormous public attention. This makes it all the more important, especially when it comes to approval and production under time pressure, that the quality standards of good manufacturing practice are observed.

Virus safety is one of the major concerns in the development and production of biopharmaceuticals and biologics. Huge efforts are undertaken to prevent viral contamination. A series of guidelines was dedicated to that topic exclusively.

For many people who are involved in the development and production of biopharmaceuticals and biologics the world of viruses is a “black box”.

Zielgruppe

This Education Course is directed to responsible personnel involved in the development and production of biopharmaceuticals and biologics
  • Research & Development
  • Quality Assurance
  • Regulatory Affairs
  • Production
  • Engineering
  • Quality Control
It is also useful for service providers, such as contract research organisations and contract manufacturers.

Technical Details

To participate in an on demand training course or webinar, you do not need any software. The recordings are made available via a streaming server. In general, the recording is provided in MP4 format, which any PC (Microsoft Windows, Apple IOS) or tablet can easily Display.
 
Timing and Duration:
When you register for the on demand Training course or webinar you can decide at what date you want to follow the training course online. For a 1-day training course you will have 2 days in which the stream is available (for 2-day training course 3 days and for a 3-day training course 4 days). Within in this timeframe you can start & stop the stream according to your needs.
 
In time before the scheduled date (your desired date) you will receive an e-mail from us with a link for direct participation as well as your log-in data.
 
Please be aware: The recording does not include the Q & A sessions.
 
Training Course Documentation and Certificate:
The presentation will be made available as PDF-files via download during the online training course. After the successful completion of the online training, you are able to download the certificate of attendance.
