Overview
What you will study
Biotherapeutics are complex sets of molecules with numerous routes of both chemical and physical instability, which can manifest from development to manufacturing. Addressing these instabilities is a great challenge, because of the complexity of the biotherapeutics themselves, the mechanisms of instability, and the approaches to solve them.
The Formulation and Stabilization of Biotherapeutics course offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) addresses those challenges, focusing on globular proteins and antibodies, but also addressing peptides, vaccines, antibody-drug conjugates, and other modalities in a variety of situations from low to high concentration liquid formulations to lyophilized formulations to various manufacturing unit operations. The approach is to identify potential routes of instability as early on as discovery, and use rational and mechanistic approaches to solve them.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Stabilization of biotherapeutics or biologics, including degradation mechanisms, rational design, and formulation
- Incorporate approaches to streamline stabilization during discovery, development, and manufacturing in your company
- Determine analytical approaches needed to solve various problems
- Understand the potential for cutting-edge approaches and technologies for a variety of modalities
- Antibodies, globular proteins, peptides, vaccines and antibody-drug conjugates
