The aim of these lessons is: to present the regulatory definition of biotechnological medicinal products; to provide a basic knowledge of the regulation governing the production, control, marketing and vigilance of these products, both for human and veterinary use, mainly at the European Community level, but also including references to the extra-EU legislation; to identify the regulatory bodies involved (Ministry of Health, ISS, AIFA at a national level; EMA, EDQM, OMS, ICH at an international level). Moreover, during the course, some industrial processes employed for the production of biotechnological medicines will be described.
At the end of the course, students will be able to describe the main regulatory aspects governing the biotechnological medicinal products, and will be able to describe some processes employed at the industrial level to produce this kind of products.
The course includes 8 hours of frontal lesson, with the support of the didactic material provided to the students through Aulaweb.
