Vaccine Development and Manufacturing

Vaccine Manufacturing and Production is an invaluablereference on how to produce a vaccine - from beginning to end -addressing all classes of vaccines from aprocessing, production, and regulatory viewpoint. It willprovide comprehensive information on the various fields involved inthe production of vaccines, from fermentation, purification,formulation, to regulatory filing and facility designs. In recentyears, there have been tremendous advances in all aspects ofvaccine manufacturing. Improved technology and growth media havebeen developed for the production of cell culture with high celldensity or fermentation. Vaccine Manufacturing andProduction will serve as a reference on all aspects of vaccineproduction by providing an in-depth description of the availabletechnologies for making different types of vaccines and the currentthinking in facility designs and supply issues. This book willprovide insight to the issues scientists face when producing avaccine, the steps that are involved, and will serve asa reference tool regarding state-of-the-art vaccinemanufacturing technologies and facility set-up. Highlights include: * Comprehensive coverage of vaccine production : from a processpoint of view- fermentation to purification to formulationdevelopments; from a production point of view - from facilitydesign to manufacturing; and from a regulatory point of view -requirements from government agencies * Authors from different major pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies * Describes the challenges and issues involved in vaccineproduction and manufacturing of the different classes of vaccines,an area not covered by other books currently on the market
