New Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing Project

By harnessing living organisms in the making of pharmaceutical products, pharmaceutical bioprocessing techniques are making it possible to develop treatments for a range of conditions.

Workers in this field require unique skills to manufacture and distribute products, as working with bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells means there are many variables to consider. Compliance with quality control measures is of the utmost importance to ensure products remain stable and effective to use. At the same time, analytical skills are needed to work with cutting edge equipment and interpret data.

At present there are no nationally endorsed units of competency available for this growing area of pharmaceutical processing and manufacture. Consultation with industry will continue throughout this project to identify the skills required to work in this field and address these skills in revised or new units of comeptency.

A project page has been published with more information and opportunities to get involved.
