Podcast: Good Manufacturing Practices

Blog

St Louis Podcast

According to Stephen Emerick, (Thermo) you cannot do anything without applying Good Manufacturing Practices. And while I am pretty sure he was talking about biomanufacturing, ensuring that a product is pure, safe, and effective sounds like a good plan for pretty much anything being produced. Stephen stated that GMP is built off of 'lots of mistakes', over hundreds of years--a perspective I had not really thought about until he said it. I listened to Stephen on the STL Biotechnology podcast series, hosted by the Center for Plant and Life Sciences at St Louis Community College-Florissant Valley. There... Read more

ATE Project Talks: HS DNA Sequencing and Protein Biomanufacturing

Fri, Apr 1 2022

Welcome to the InnovATE BIO 2022 series of virtual ATE project talks. This series features leaders in biotechnology workforce education from across the US sharing their work on exciting projects funded by the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program. The ATE program supports the education of technicians for the high-technology fields that drive our nation's economy.

An interesting aspect of this week's talks is that both ATE projects seek to establish their own version of core facilities. Unlike most core facilities, which are found in ... Read more

chemical and engineering

Chemical and Engineering News is not a journal I read very often, but a recent article titled “Help wanted in biomanufacturing” definitely caught my eye. Successes within the R&D and business fronts of life sciences companies have pushed technologies to commercial-scale production facilities. But there aren’t enough technicians to operate the machines that grow the cells. It isn’t a crisis….yet.

And with some smart and timely programs, it won’t become a crisis. Programs such as companies partnering with schools to set up a local associate’s degree program in hopes of then employing “home grown” talent. The Massachusetts Biotechnology Education... Read more
