Designing Quality into Pharmaceutical ProductsA Practical Introduction to QbD

The Quality by Design Training in France is a practical, one-day programme that teaches pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical professionals how to build quality into a product from the design stage instead of testing it in at the end. Quality by Design (QbD) is a systematic, science-based approach mandated by the ICH Q8(R2), Q9, Q10 and Q11 guidelines and increasingly expected by regulators such as the EMA and FDA.

Across a single eight-hour session you learn the full QbD toolkit: the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs), risk assessment with Ishikawa and FMEA, Design of Experiments (DoE), the design space, Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and the control strategy. Hands-on exercises use realistic development scenarios so you can apply each tool at work the next day.

The training suits formulation scientists, process and analytical scientists, regulatory affairs (CMC) specialists and quality professionals across France's pharma, biotech, API and CDMO sites. With France reshoring essential medicine production and scaling biologics, QbD-literate teams are in strong demand. Start building this capability with Invensis Learning.
