This course seeks to instruct in the various stages of vaccine development and commercialisation. As many vaccines are administered to healthy individuals, the regulatory requirements shape development unlike any other biopharmaceutical. Students will learn about the historical importance of early vaccines, the modification to the ‘regulatory lock,’ and process development challenges for vaccine manufacture.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

Identify active and passive immune therapies
	Understand the regulatory burden for vaccine manufacture
	Distinguish between process choices for bacterial and viral vaccines
	Understand antigen design
	Distinguish between the multiple methods of action for an adjuvant
	Appreciate vaccine development within a closed ‘artificial’ market
	Make cost bases analyses on process changes
	Understand ‘production at risk’

The recovery, purification and formulation of biological products from complex sources such as fermentation or cell broths represents the major challenge to the provision of safe and effective materials e.g. for therapeutic use. The course emphasises a physical understanding of the unit operations important to bioprocessing, sufficient for the design of efficient steps that can be combined to produce efficient bioprocesses.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to: Learn the principles of design, selection and operation of unit operations for the processing of biological products, Use realistic design equations to describe quantitatively many of the critical post-bioreactor steps including filtration, centrifugation, cell disruption, affinity chromatography, liquid-liquid extraction, and precipitation, Understand how and when to use scale-up and scale-down procedures, including ultra-scale-down methods
