Course description
Biotechnology, the use ofbiologyto solve problems and make useful products. The most prominent area of biotechnology is the production of therapeutic proteins and other drugs throughgenetic engineering.
The importance of the biotech industry has increased significantly over recent years and biotech companies now dominate the new drug pipeline. The industry is gaining momentum and advancements in biomedical science and increased innovation hold vast potential for the growth of the biotech market.
Biotechnology for the Non-Biotechnologist training course will provide an overview of how biotech products are being developed and manufactured, and discuss the scientific and regulatory environment.
The interactive programme will cover the latest advances in regulation, including biosimilars and advanced therapies, and address the role and importance of patents within biotech, including what actually can be patented.
