Training

GMP (good manufacturing practice) is the important element of Quality management to ensure medicines manufactured are of highest quality that meets the required regulatory standards. This 2-day in person course is for anyone with an interest in working in Quality in GMP Industry including QC, QA and manufacturing personnel, graduates or research scientists looking to establish their career in GMP/ ATMP industry.

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.

In medicines manufacturing, maintaining strict cleanroom behaviours is absolutely critical to ensure patient safety. Cleanroom and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) behaviours are essential for safeguarding product quality, ensuring efficacy, and meeting regulatory compliance standards. During this two-day, in-person course you will develop an understanding of GMP cleanrooms at different scales, environmental monitoring, contamination control strategies, and health and safety in GMP facilities.

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.

Efficiency, compliance, and precision form the foundation of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in medicines manufacturing. This course will provide practical experience through immersive VR to help you appreciate how the right combination of equipment, materials handling strategies, and process controls come together to meet the sector's stringent regulatory standards and ensure the reliable delivery of safe, high-quality medicines to patients worldwide.

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.

Learn how quality, risks, and failures are measured and documented in GMP medicines manufacturing. Over this two-day course you will learn how to apply Quality by Design, identify key quality and process factors, and set up strong Quality Management Systems to ensure safe, consistent products.​

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