Program Highlights

PDA proudly presents this new training course kindly supported by Merck KGaA!

Overview

The field of gene therapy is continuing to evolve at a rapid speed and understanding the basics of viral vector manufacturing is vital to staying competitive and possibly a differentiating factor in the journey to commercialization.

Leveraging our vast experience in viral vectors, we have custom designed this course to cater to the numerous partners involved in technical and management teams of Process Development across the gene therapy space and the many others who seek to enter this space.

In this course you will get a thorough overview of end-to-end bioprocessing of viral vectors starting with basic science through upstream PD, downstream PD, analytics, tech transfer and single use facility considerations.
