TS6B: BIOPROCESS STRATEGIES FROM DEVELOPMENT TO BLA
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14 AND THURSDAY, AUGUST 15
DAY ONE: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM | DAY TWO: 8:00 AM – 12:15 PM
Waterfront 1C
Instructor:
Sheila G. Magil, PhD, Managing Director, Industry Specialized Services, BDO
Today’s biopharmaceutical development environment is driven by a constant stream of new modalities and product formats, an increased focus on product quality and management imperatives to advance through clinical development rapidly, and at the
lowest possible cost. The Bioprocess Strategies training seminar presents a look at the key timelines and strategic considerations during the timeline and explores strategies at each step that can be employed to meet these important goals. Special
consideration will be given to the role of new process and analytical technologies, automation and the use of global manufacturing and supply chain networks.

Training Seminar Information
Each CHI Training Seminar offers 1.5 days of instruction with start and stop times for each day shown above and on the Event-at-a-Glance published in the onsite Program & Event Guide. Training Seminars will include morning and afternoon refreshment
breaks, as applicable, and lunch will be provided to all registered attendees on the full day of the class.
Each person registered specifically for the Training Seminar will be provided with a hard copy handbook for the seminar in which they are registered. A limited number of additional handbooks will be available for other delegates who wish to attend the
seminar, but after these have been distributed, no additional books will be available.
Though CHI encourages track hopping between conference programs, we ask that Training Seminars not be disturbed once they have begun. In the interest of maintaining the highest quality learning environment for Training Seminar attendees, and because seminars
are conducted differently than conference programming, we ask that attendees commit to attending the entire program, and not engage in track hopping, as to not disturb the hands-on style instruction being offered to the other participants.
