Topic

Quality assurance and quality management often come to mind in pharmaceutical manufacturing, yet quality can be extended to all things of value. Ensuring the quality of products or services, increases the competitiveness of the organization. Within the framework of the subject, students have the opportunity to get acquainted with the concept of quality, the development of quality management systems and the principles of quality management. The process approach and its significance, as well as the quality loop (PDCA principle) as a basis for quality management thinking. Further, course covers the general aspects of quality management layers, adapting GMP, ISO and external quality assurance in the research, diagnosis and manufacture of biopharmaceutical products. In addition, the course provides the student with a basic understanding of how to integrate these aspects into the latest molecular therapies, molecular diagnostics, and other biotechnology products. Finally, the course provides insight into quality risk management, product recall management, product stability, and end product quality.
