This course is being offered in India with the support of
Suraksha is supporting sustainable innovation with mentoring, professional training programs and technology commercialization support from USA. This is a part of our mission to offer courses to students, professionals and companies to focus more on environmental friendly technology development in India. We are determined to empowering 1 million entrepreneurs around the globe.
Federation of Asian Biotech Associations and FABA Academy are promoting the innovation, entrepreneurship and workforce development in life science industry from India.
Purpose of the course
The citizens of the countries including children, world leaders, scientists, global banks and asset managers are demanding to stop polluting companies that are causing irreversable climate change, threat to human health and biodiversity. There would be a phenominal change in the innovation and porduct manufacturing and distribution from now onwards.
This course is an introduction to new product development process and challenges, roles, and responsibilities of technical personnel.
Who should attend?
Professionals, graduate and post graduate students in life sciences and chemical and biotech engineering, Postdocs, and executive, who are involved in research and development and manufacturing in industry will benefit from this course.
Where would the course be useful?
All major life science companies have incorporated sustainability practices in their R&D and manufacturing. Understanding and applying these principles in all aspects of product development and manufacturing is now a necessity.
What opportunities are there after the course?
Understanding sustainability principles and their application and the new trends in product development and manufacturing provides technical professionals with a big advantage in the professional development career growth and job market.
Prerequisites
Biology/Organic Chemistry I and II/ Physical Chemistry I and II/ Synthesis and Chemical Engineering.
Course overview
Chemists, biologists, and chemical engineers are involved in a wide range of activities in “Life Sciences industry”. By “Lifesciences Industry” we mean a hugely diverse field of industries like biotech, pharmaceuticals, agricultural, food, cosmetics, materials, coatings, fine and specialty chemicals, commodity products, etc. Simply said, biologists and chemists are everywhere! However, the biology and chemistry graduates do not have a good understanding of the challenges and opportunities available to them in this complex enterprise. One of these challenges is globalization and its impact on the supply chain and how it has impacted all levels of new product development and commercialization. A great new opportunity is the incorporation of Sustainable Green Chemistry and Engineering Principles and circular economy in life sciences industry. This course is an introduction to research and development in life sciences industry and covers topics that lead to the development of sustainable products and processes.
