Aseptic Production : An Introduction for Life Scientists

The future of medicine lies in the world of biological therapeutics - targeted antibodies, engineered proteins, reprogrammed cells. Vast amounts of money are pouring into the field, new jobs are being created every day.

These therapeutics are produced using aseptic processing lines, designed to keep the sterile drug away from the bacteria-covered outside environment. Highly complex, heavily regulated, aseptic production lines have their own world of confusing concepts and terminology - concepts which you will need to learn if you want to enter the field.

That is where this book comes in. We will cover many areas, including what an aseptic line involves, how it is maintained, what you need to watch out for, and (most importantly) what all of that jargon actually means.

Whether you've just started working in the field or are preparing for your first interview, it provides the foundational knowledge you need to succeed.
