We are happy to announce to our community that the DIM BioConvS will sponsor up to 5 grants, for a value of 1000€ each, to attend the ESACT’s 3rd Bioprocessing and Manufacturing of Gene and Cell Therapy Products Course, which will be held from September 24th to September 28th in a small town named Llafranc in the heart of Costa Brava, Girona, Spain.
Our community has manifested a strong need of training in biotherapy and bioproduction and we are proud of having identified this excellent, world-renowned course which is at its 3rd iteration this year.
The course is an intense dive into “key bioprocessing aspects, analytical toolsets to assess the quantity and quality attributes, and regulatory challenges for the manufacturing of ATMPs, providing also a solid fundamental basis on vectorology and stem cell biology. The course is designed as an interactive 5-day program with the number of participants restricted to 30 to foster interaction among speakers and attendees.”
