One of CellCAN's Network Affiliate, the Centre d'Excellence en Thérapie Cellulaire (CETC) in Montreal, was the host of a hands-on GMP workshop from October 14th to 16th, 2018. This exclusive training, organized by CellCAN in partnership with C3i, gave the opportunity to learn the essentials of GMP requirements from experts illustrated by several experiences from actual clinical trials.
Thanks to a mixture of lectures and hands-on training, participants were able to transform knowledge into action and had access to the cleanrooms of the CETC for a highly enlightening learning experience. Take a peek at the workshop's curriculum below.
The number of good manufacturing practice (GMP) facilities is growing in Canada with the rapid progressions in cell therapy. This has created a need for well-trained highly qualified personnel (HQP), as working under GMP conditions and requirements for GMP manipulations are regulated and quite different than in standard research laboratories. In this course the attendees will learn the essentials of GMP requirements from experts illustrated by several experiences from actual clinical trials. The workshop is a mixture of lectures and hands-on training. Participants will actually perform manipulations according to the GMP standards. Moreover, attendees will have the chance to experience the workflow in a GMP facility and learn how a GMP cell therapy facility is organized.
This workshop on Good Manufacturing Practice is designed for cell biologists, technologists, research scientists, process engineers and trainees (and other end users) who are working or plan to work in areas associated with the manufacturing of cell therapies, or want to expand their knowledge on advancing cell therapy projects towards the clinic. The outcome from this unique workshop will be the transfer of advanced knowledge creating a foundation of GMP-based know-how for the next generation of HQP.
This will change depending on the location of the GMP Workshop
