Introduction to
Biopharmaceuticals
A practical introduction to how complex biological medicines are developed, manufactured and controlled—from the choice of expression system to GMP production and analytical characterisation.

Early Bird available until October 14th, 2026
Why this course matters
Biopharmaceuticals are transforming healthcare, but they are also fundamentally different from conventional small-molecule drugs. Their quality is shaped by living systems, complex processes and tightly connected manufacturing and analytical decisions.
This course gives participants a coherent view of the full journey—from cell line and process development through technology transfer, GMP manufacturing and product characterisation—so that individual tasks make sense within the wider product lifecycle.
What you will learn
By the end of the course, participants will have a clearer understanding of:
How expression systems and cell lines are selected for different biopharmaceutical products
How upstream and downstream process development creates robust, scalable manufacturing
How technology transfer connects development laboratories with GMP production
How monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, viral vectors, mRNA and other advanced products are manufactured
How quality control and analytical characterisation demonstrate identity, purity, potency and safety
How scientific, process and regulatory decisions interact across the product lifecycle
The focus is practical: connecting biological science with the realities of industrial development, manufacturing and control.
What is included
Live online training with Dr. Leonardo Sibilio
Structured learning across the complete biopharmaceutical lifecycle
Real-world examples from monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins and viral vectors
Course materials for reference after the session

Who this course is for
This course is especially relevant for professionals working in or around:
Process Development and MSAT
GMP Manufacturing
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Analytical Development
R&D and Technology Transfer
Regulatory Affairs
Biotechnology and pharmaceutical operations
Professionals moving from academia into industry
It is particularly useful for professionals who want to understand how their specialist role connects with the decisions made before and after their own stage of the process.
Why this matters for your work
Biopharmaceutical development is a chain of interdependent decisions. A cell line choice affects the process; the process shapes the product; analytical methods determine how its quality is understood and controlled.
A strong overview helps teams communicate across functions, anticipate downstream consequences and make better-informed decisions in regulated environments.
