Forbhreathnú Cúrsa

This programme is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to process, analyse and collaborate on biomanufacturing data and derive actionable insights for GxP operation.

This blended course of three days of theory and NIBRT onsite practicals combines theoretical sessions with hands-on practical training. This course introduces advanced statistical principles applied to the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Designed for students with limited prior exposure to the concepts of statistics and probability, this comprehensive course aims to equip participants with skills to enable bioprocess development and manufacturing through a data-driven strategy.

Practical, hands-on sessions on bioprocess case studies are incorporated in this module to reflect the end-to-end workflow from development to commercial manufacturing. A small amount of coding (2-3 lines) in the R language is required, which will be guided by the lecturer. Students will be provided with laptops with these software packages preloaded for the onsite sessions.
