department in the development and manufacture of quality biotechnology products.
Emphasis is placed on understanding the basic principles upon which these
regulations are based. Topics include the goals and obligations of the U. S. Food and
Drug Administration, a review of CGMP subparts as key ingredients in the production
of quality products, and the responsibilities of a quality assurance department in
product quality.
Prerequisite: Completion of ENG 101, BIO 131, and CHE 121; and completion of
TMA 090 or TMA 100.

biotechnology industry. Topics may include Aseptic fill, validation, and protein
purification. Focus will be on knowledge of sterilization and Aseptic technique,
protein peptide formulation, lyophilization process and storage stability. Validation
issues will deal with practical application of validation principles for the
biotechnology industry, drug approval process, validation monitoring and regulations.
In protein purification, the students will have an overview of techniques used in
purification; different procedures in chromatography; affinity ion exchange,
absorption, high resolution liquid chromatography (HPLC), etc.
Prerequisites: Completion of BIO 240, BIT 150 and BIT 155.
