With an emphasis on product development challenges and regulatory expectations in the US, Europe and other highly regulated regions, this workshop provides an in-depth study of chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) product development requirements and best practices associated with biologics, and biosimilars.Specifically designed for RA/QA professionals, managers and scientists responsible for biopharmaceutical CMC development and preparation of dossiers, this in-depth discussion will take a regulatory approach to the technical issues that arise during biologic product development and registration. Topics will include: • Biological product development from early phase to commercialization • Source material • Cell & seed banks • Upstream and downstream processing, formulation and final product production • Characterization and testing • Demonstrating comparability • CMC regulations and guidance applicable to biologics • Quality by Design • Adventitious agents risk management
