About this course

This course builds practical, industry‑aligned expertise in downstream bioprocessing, focusing on purification workflows as they are applied in GMP manufacturing settings.

Participants complete focused online preparation to consolidate core downstream concepts, followed by an immersive, hands‑on practical program at the BIF. The face‑to‑face component prioritises real purification activities, including equipment operation, process monitoring, documentation, and interpretation of performance data.

The course explores how downstream process design and execution influence product quality, yield, and process consistency, and how quality control (QC) data and Design of Experiments (DoE) approaches are used to support process optimisation and integration with upstream manufacture and broader production workflows.

Learning outcomes

  • Describe the role of downstream processing within end‑to‑end biomanufacturing
  • Explain the purpose and principles of key downstream unit operations
  • Support clarification, filtration and chromatography activities in a GMP setting
  • Interpret process data related to yield, recovery and product quality
  • Recognise critical control points and common risks in downstream manufacture
  • Apply GMP principles to downstream activities, including documentation and deviation awareness
