    What Is Quality by Design and Why It Matters in PharmaUntitledA Science-Led Route to Built-In Quality

    Quality by Design (QbD) is a systematic, science-based approach to pharmaceutical development in which quality is built into a product from the design stage, based on a thorough understanding of the product and its manufacturing process, rather than verified by end-product testing alone. This Quality by Design training in Colombia teaches you to apply that approach end to end, from defining the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP) through identifying critical quality attributes (CQAs), running risk assessments and Design of Experiments, and defining a design space and control strategy. The course is grounded in the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines that govern modern pharmaceutical development: ICH Q8(R2) Pharmaceutical Development, ICH Q9 Quality Risk Management, ICH Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality System and ICH Q11 for drug substances. These are the same expectations that INVIMA, the FDA and the EMA increasingly look for in development and manufacturing submissions. It suits formulation and analytical scientists, process development engineers, quality assurance professionals and regulatory affairs specialists across Colombia's pharmaceutical, biopharma, API and medical device organisations. In one focused day you gain tools you can put to work immediately on live product development. Start building your QbD capability with Invensis Learning.
