NIIMBL Cell Therapy Manufacturing Lab

Massachusetts is a global leader in biomanufacturing, and the industry continues to grow in New England. If you are looking for the basic skills and knowledge needed for entry-level jobs in this booming industry, look no further. 

Expanding and manufacturing human cells requires unique equipment and processes that ensure quality during expansion of cells that will be used as therapies administered to patients. This three-day hands-on course reviews fundamentals of aseptic culture technique, including culture of adherent and suspension cells, cell counting, cell culture plasticware (from T-flasks to spinner flasks and microcarrier culture), and emphasizes batch record and traceability considerations for autologous human cell therapies.  This laboratory course provides hands on training on cell therapy manufacturing equipment used for cell expansion and washing.  This course is designed for students who have some experience with aseptic cell culture technique and upstream bioprocessing who are interested in acquiring new skills and gaining an awareness of techniques and considerations for manufacturing cell therapies.
