Our journey from compliance to quality is rooted in deep traditions, but are those traditions helping us or hurting us? Focusing solely on inspecting for compliance is not sufficient to prevent drug shortages nor ensure drug quality. This talk discusses the quality management maturity (QMM) model, how to move to a culture of quality, common areas of improvement, what to expect.
For an organization to move to and thrive in a culture of quality involves having consistent, reliable, robust business processes and data that promote continual improvement and deliver on quality objectives. This webinar considers some of the most important aspect of quality management, including techniques to achieve a modern maturity model (QMM). We discuss potential areas of improvement, such as a patient-centricity focus, the accuracy and completeness of data, and how to meet current and future regulatory requirements.

Novel fields, such as cell and gene therapy require large amounts of cells to be produced and are therefore dependent on efficient scale‐up, the process of increasing bioprocess dimensions. However, as multiple parameters are influenced during this process, it is not easy to keep yields consistent between small‐ and large‐scale approaches. Therefore, in order to design the scale‐up process as efficient as possible, different strategies focusing on different parameters were established over time. In this ebook, Eppendorf thought leaders will give an overview of the current gold standards in scale‐up and share their opinions on advantages and disadvantages of different strategies. Furthermore, scale‐up of both bacterial and mammalian cell culture is experimentally demonstrated in this publication.
