Microbiological Concepts in Pharmaceutical ManufacturingThis course is a rare opportunity to learn about pharmaceutical microbiology, the principles of sterile process control, and what can go wrong if GMPs are not followed.

• Manufacturing technologies and techniques and the needto build quality into processes

• The importance of vigilant daily oversight of a sterile operation

• Influence of raw material quality on finished productqualification and validation studies conducted by drug firms

• Key microbiological tests performed at in-process and finished product stages.

The course stresses practical matters and includes case studies to prepare students with a strong scientific and risk-based foundation.
