    What Is Quality by Design?UntitledA Science-Led Route to Better Medicines

    Quality by Design (QbD) is a systematic, science-based approach to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical development that builds quality into a product from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. This Quality by Design training in Bahrain teaches you to apply that approach on real product and process development work. Grounded in the ICH Q8(R2), Q9, Q10 and Q11 guidelines that the NHRA and other GCC regulators increasingly expect, the programme walks you through the full QbD toolkit: the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs), risk assessment, Design of Experiments (DoE), the design space and the control strategy. It suits formulation scientists, process and analytical scientists, quality assurance teams and regulatory affairs professionals across Bahrain's pharma, biopharma and API organisations. Learn practical, workplace-ready skills with Invensis Learning and start applying the QbD method from your next development project.
