Biotechnology And Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Processing And Preservation

In this unique book, experts describe practices applicable to the large-scale processing of biotechnological products. Beginning with processing and bulk storage preservation techniques, the book provides strategies for improving efficiency of process campaigns of multiple products and manufacturing facilities for such processing techniques. Large-scale chromatography for the purification of biomolecules in manufacturing and lyophilization of protein pharmaceuticals are discussed. Includes a case study on blow-fill-seal processing technology and a chapter on economic and cost factors for bioprocess engineering.

An expert, single-volume overview of the core processes and disciplines of biopharmaceutical production In the newly revised Third Edition of Manufacturing of Pharmaceutical Proteins: From Technology to Economy, renowned chemical engineer Dr. Stefan Behme delivers a comprehensive text covering all aspects of biopharmaceutical manufacturing, including legal and regulatory considerations, production facility design, quality assurance, supply chain management, emerging market regulations, and cost control. Suitable as both a reference book and a training resource, this book extensively explores the impact of digital transformation on pharmaceutical protein manufacturers and includes a brand-new chapter dedicated to digitalization. The distinguished author provides readers with practical understanding of the terminology and principles driving the various fields involved with biotechnological production, including operations, legal, finance, and IT. He also offers: A thorough introduction to biopharmaceutical production, including value creation, product types, and biological basics Comprehensive explorations of the technology of the manufacturing process and analytics Practical discussions of pharmacology and drug safety, quality assurance, and pharmaceutical law In-depth examinations of pharmaceutical protein production facilities, including facility design and the planning, construction, and commissioning of a manufacturing plant Perfect for biotechnologists working in the pharmaceutical industry, Manufacturing of Pharmaceutical Proteins: From Technology to Economy will also earn a place in the libraries of pharmaceutical engineers seeking a one-stop reference for all aspects of biopharmaceutical production.

In this era of biotechnology there have been many books covering the fundamentals of recombinant DNA technology and protein chemistry. However, not many sources are available for the pharmaceutical develop ment scientist and other personnel responsible for the commercialization of the finished dosage forms of these new biopharmaceuticals and other products from biotechnology. This text will help to fill this gap. Once active biopharmaceutical molecules are candidates for clinical trial investigation and subsequent commercialization, a number of other activities must take place while research and development on these molecules continues. The active ingredient itself must be formulated into a finished dosage form that can be conveniently used by health care professionals and patients. Properties of the biopharmaceutical molecule must be clearly understood so that the appropriate finished product formulation can be developed. Finished product formulation development includes not only the chemical formulation, but also the packaging system, the manufacturing process, and appropriate control strategies to assure such good manufacturing practice attributes as safety, identity, strength, purity, and quality.

The concepts, applications, and practical issues of Quality by Design Quality by Design (QbD) is a new framework currently being implemented by the FDA, as well as EU and Japanese regulatory agencies, to ensure better understanding of the process so as to yield a consistent and high-quality pharmaceutical product. QbD breaks from past approaches in assuming that drug quality cannot be tested into products; rather, it must be built into every step of the product creation process. Quality by Design: Perspectives and Case Studies presents the first systematic approach to QbD in the biotech industry. A comprehensive resource, it combines an in-depth explanation of basic concepts with real-life case studies that illustrate the practical aspects of QbD implementation. In this single source, leading authorities from the biotechnology industry and the FDA discuss such topics as: The understanding and development of the product's critical quality attributes (CQA) Development of the design space for a manufacturing process How to employ QbD to design a formulation process Raw material analysis and control strategy for QbD Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and how it relates to QbD Relevant PAT tools and applications for the pharmaceutical industry The uses of risk assessment and management in QbD Filing QbD information in regulatory documents The application of multivariate data analysis (MVDA) to QbD Filled with vivid case studies that illustrate QbD at work in companies today, Quality by Design is a core reference for scientists in the biopharmaceutical industry, regulatory agencies, and students.

Process Validation in Manufacturing of Biopharmaceuticals, Third Edition delves into the key aspects and current practices of process validation. It includes discussion on the final version of the FDA 2011 Guidance for Industry on Process Validation Principles and Practices, commonly referred to as the Process Validation Guidance or PVG, issued in

Biopharmaceuticals, medicines made by or from living organisms (including cells from living organisms), are extremely effective in treating a broad range of diseases. Their importance to human health has grown significantly over the years as more biopharmaceutical products have entered the market, and now the biggest selling drugs in the world are biopharmaceuticals. Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing: Principles, Processes and Practices provides concise, comprehensive, and up-to-date coverage of biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Written in a clear and informal style, the content has been influenced by the authors’ substantial industry experience and teaching expertise. That expertise enables the authors to address the many questions posed over the years both by university students and professionals with experience in the field. Consequently, the book will appeal both to undergraduate or graduate students using it as a textbook and specialized industry practitioners seeking to understand the big picture of biopharmaceutical manufacturing. This book:

A real-world guide to the production and manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals While much has been written about the science of biopharmaceuticals, there is a need for practical, up-to-date information on key issues at all stages of developing and manufacturing commercially viable biopharmaceutical drug products. This book helps fill the gap in the field, examining all areas of biopharmaceuticals manufacturing, from development and formulation to production and packaging. Written by a group of experts from industry and academia, the book focuses on real-world methods for maintaining product integrity throughout the commercialization process, clearly explaining the fundamentals and essential pathways for all development stages. Coverage includes: Research and early development phase–appropriate approaches for ensuring product stability Development of commercially viable formulations for liquid and lyophilized dosage forms Optimal storage, packaging, and shipping methods Case studies relating to therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, and plasma fractions Useful analysis of successful and failed products Formulation and Process Development Strategies for Manufacturing Biopharma-ceuticals is an essential resource for scientists and engineers in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, for government and regulatory agencies, and for anyone with an interest in the latest developments in the field.
