1 LIFE SCIENCES Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Chemical & Biosciences Technology QA/QC in Pharmaceutical Industry Applied Biology & Chemistry

2 Organization of Life Sciences Three Main Areas:  R&D – Research and Development  Production  QA/QC – Quality Assurance / Quality Control

3 Responsibilities in Research Find product with commercial value Characterize – (composition, potency, shelf-life) Establish product specifications Develop testing methods Develop manufacture process Microbiological considerations Raw materials specifications Equipment required

4 Research Job Titles  Scientist  Research scientist  Research Associate  Research Technician  Laboratory Technician  Laboratory Scientist  Media Preparation Technician

5 Responsibilities of Production Team  Make the product – biochemical, etc.  Work with large volumes / equipment  Routine monitoring and control  Routine cleaning, calibration and maintenance of equipment  Following SOP (standard operating procedures)  Initiating corrective procedures  Completing forms, labels, log- books

6 Production Job Titles  Manufacturing Operator  Manufacturing Technician  Manufacturing Supervisor  Production Technician  Pilot Plant Operator  Pilot Plant Technician

7 Responsibilities of QA / QC Team  Monitor equipment, facilities, personnel, product  Review all production procedures  Ensures document accuracy  Test samples of product and raw materials  Compare to established standards  Approve product release  Review customer complaints

8 QC / QA Job Titles  Quality Assurance Technician  Quality Control Technician  Assay Analyst  Documentation Specialist  Compliance Specialist  Internal Auditor

9 Different Types of Work Environments Academic / Gov. Research  investigate fundamental problems in biology / chemistry (etc.)  Product is knowledge or information  May eventually be applied to a commercial product

10 Different Types of Work Environments R&D Laboratories in Industry  Investigate areas with intent of a commercial product  Focused, aggressive, highly effective

11 Different Types of Work Environments Production Facilities  Produce products to exact specifications  Often uses large-scale equipment  Can be simple or highly complex  Often a large-scale version of bench-scale research

12 Different Types of Work Environments Testing Labs (QA, Microbiol, Clinical)  Perform tests on samples / devices  May be highly routine  May be highly variable  Nature of work varies with specific area
