SOLD OUT - Biologics CMC: Phase Appropriate Product Development

17 November 2020 – 14 June 2021: $800 Member | $900 nonmember

15 June 2021 – 12 July 2021: $900 Member | $1000 nonmember

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should:

• Be familiar with various types of biologic products and their structural/functional characteristics

• Understand development phase-appropriate regulatory agency expectations associated with biologics characterization, development, production and testing

• Understand best practices in establishing a comprehensive chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) regulatory strategy for application to the lifecycle of biologic and biosimilar products

• Understand Quality by Design principles as they relate to development, manufacturing, characterizations, and testing of biologic products

• Translate an effective biologics CMC strategy into effective regulatory submission content for biologic and biosimilar products

Who Should Attend?
This program will benefit early, mid-career, and senior SMEs and regulatory professionals in CMC working in development, registration and post-approval lifecycle management for biological products. There are no prerequisites for participation. It is recommended that Biologics CMC Workshop: Current Trends, Future Trends and Regulatory Challenges be taken prior to this course for early career SMEs.
