8th Annual The Bioprocessing Summit

8th Annual The Bioprocessing Summit is organized by Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI) and would be held during Aug 15 - 19, 2016 at The Westin Boston Waterfront, Boston, Massachusetts, United States Of America.

Short Courses :
• Optimizing Media for Culturing Cells :
This course will provide helpful strategies for improving process robustness, extending culture viability, and increasing productivity. The course will cover essential ingredients needed to culture cells, as well as new ways to replace traditional elements with chemically-defined components, and provide optimal culture conditions. Reducing process variability and influencing key product quality attributes will also be addressed.

• Accelerated Stability Testing of Biologics :
The course will begin with basic underlying concepts governing protein drug product stability, and focus on design principles for measuring stress and accelerated stability testing of not only the protein of interest, but also of excipients and primary packaging components.

• Advanced Process Control Strategies in Bioprocessing :
This course is focused on critical issues during implementation of advanced process control strategies in bioprocesses.

• Analytical Strategies for Comparability in Bioprocess Development :
Bioprocess changes can impact quality attributes of biologics and may affect efficacy and safety of the product. During development and throughout the product lifecycle, when process improvements are implemented, it is essential to gather sufficient data to support the conclusion that product safety and efficacy has not been adversely affected.

Protein Aggregation: Mechanism, Characterization and Consequences :
Protein aggregation is recognized by regulatory agencies and the biopharmaceutical industry as a key quality attribute of biotherapeutics.

• Purification of Advanced Medicine Therapy Products :
Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs), as stem cell - based products, virus and virus like particles have a unique complexity that challenges the design of robust and effective biomanufacturing processes.

• Transient Protein Production in Mammalian Cells :
This short course introduces both the fundamental concepts and technologies needed to establish transient protein production in mammalian cells. This allows for the rapid generation, purification and characterization of milligramto - gram quantities of secreted or intracellular recombinant proteins for therapeutic, functional and structural studies.
