Biomanufacturing introduces the intricacies and difficulties involved in manufacturing biologics. Biologics are produced in living cells, unlike small molecule drugs that are synthesized in glassware. To understand the biopharma industry, you must know how biological medicines are produced. Biomanufacturing is for everyone in the biopharma industry, especially for those new to drug production, drug development, or product launch.

Suggested Prerequisites
