Manufacturing and Processes for Biotherapeutics

4 Credits.

This course examines manufacturing processes of current and emerging treatments that utilize therapies derived from biological sources as treatment for injury or disease, including cell and gene therapies. Students will become familiar with the state-of-the-art in biomanufacturing, stem cell differentiation, purification of biological materials, drug delivery, and explore challenges/gaps in current biological-based treatments. The course will explore processes at the development, pilot, and industrial scale. Prerequisites: 410.603 Advanced Cell Biology or equivalent; 410.653 Regenerative Medicine: from Bench to Bedside.
