DESCRIPTION

This program covers basic theory and practical applications for the removal / inactivation of virus contamination in biopharmaceuticals and biological materials. The course format is a combination of lecture and discussion experiences. Various orthogonal methods of viral inactivation/removal will be discussed which includes chromatography, inactivation technologies, e.g., UVC, Solvent/Detergent, and Nanofiltration. Course attendees will come away with a solid background and understanding of these methodologies, terminology, risk assessment and current regulatory and industry trends.

RATIONALE

Cell line characterization, raw material testing and validation are core concepts for the removal / reduction of any potential viral contaminants from the manufacturing processes and drug / therapeutic product. These are necessary consideration to ensure viral removal and product safety as required by regulatory guidance and industry standards.


Who Should Attend

Process Development, R&D Engineers and Scientists, Quality Control and Regulatory Affairs Personnel.

PREREQUISITES

Basic understanding of life science and microbiology (helpful)

Learning Objective

At the completion of this workshop the participant will be able to:

• Gain a better understanding of terminology used.
• Distinguish viral types, RNA-DNA, and review nomenclature.
• Understand virus safety for biologicals, biopharmaceuticals.
• Know methods for detecting viral contamination, PCR, CPE, TEM.
• Understand new methods for virus inactivation / removal technologies.
• Determine methods and robustness to achieve LRV in process.
• Discuss current industry perspective on virus validation studies.
• Know current regulatory guidance and industry standards and trends.
