About Program

The Biochemical Engineering Research and Process Development Centre (BERPDC) at CSIR-IMTECH is organizing a National Hands-on Training Workshop on Advances in Bioprocess Technologies, focused on Biotherapeutics & Vaccine R&D.  The workshop is going to be held from 23-30th  June 2023 at CSIR-IMTECH, Chandigarh Campus. The major goal of this workshop will impart intensive hands-on and classroom training to participants on Microbial and Mammalian Cell culture bioprocessing for the development of E.coli based Biotherapeutic protein and CHO cell-based monoclonal antibody, respectively. The training modules include Fermentation (upstream) and downstream processing, Operation of Microbial Fermenter, Cell Culture Bioreactors, Separation and purification of recombinant therapeutics proteins and monoclonal antibodies using Chromatography techniques. This workshop will benefit academic and Industry professionals working in the area of Biopharmaceuticals, particularly Biotherapeutics, monoclonal antibodies, and Vaccines. This workshop will also help the participants to gain fundamental understanding in recombinant protein expression, refolding of inclusion body proteins, purification and ascertaining critical to quality characteristics. Furthermore, participants will get familiar with Quality assurance, quality management systems, and regulatory requirements for the preclinical and clinical development of biopharmaceutical molecules. During this event, eminent speakers from renowned Biopharma Industries, research institutions and regulatory bodies will be delivering key note lectures.
