This webinar will define the key elements of cell culture and fermentation, including culture medium, equipment requirements, and processing conditions and parameters. Course Objective: Biologics-based products are a rapidly growing segment of the pharmaceutical industry and an understanding of how these molecules are developed and produced is important for those new to the field. This webinar will provide the basic understanding on the fundamental, yet essential, components of cell culture and fermentation, i.e. upstream biologics processes, in a biopharmaceutical setting. This session will describe the common cell lines used in the pharmaceutical industry and the required culture medium nutrients for the cells to grow. It will also discuss the importance of aseptic operation, including personnel technique and equipment operation. It will cover the culture analytical methods, both in-process and off-line testing. This session highlights the regulatory guidelines applicable to upstream biologics processes. Following topics will be discussed during the training: • Commonly used cell types in biopharmaceuticals • Culture medium • Key equipment • Basic models for growth and product formation • Process parameters and analytical testing • Aseptic technique • Elements of reactor design • Overview of regulations
