SUMMARY:Lyophilization Technology Training Workshop: Product\, Process & Systems
DESCRIPTION:Held at UMass Lowell (MA) this 3-day lyophilization technology workshop running from September 29th to October 1st\, 2026\, gives participants a practical and structured overview of the lyophilization process\, from product characterization and formulation considerations through to cycle development\, scale-up and freeze-dryer systems. \nLed by experts in the field of lyophilization from Biopharma Group\, attendees will cover the science\, best practices and engineering behind lyophilization. Through a combination of theoretical sessions and practical workshops\, participants will explore how these principles can be applied to real-life lyo cycle and development questions. \nWhat you’ll learn:\n\nUnderstand the science and best practices behind the lyophilization process\nExplore product characterization methods used before lyophilization cycle development\nReview formulation design strategies for stable lyophilized products\nUnderstand freezing\, primary drying and secondary drying principles\nLearn key considerations for cycle development\, loading and scale-up\nExplore process monitoring\, PAT\, QbD and software-based development approaches\nUnderstand refrigeration\, vacuum\, stoppering and process condenser systems\nEvaluate lyophile appearance\, product analysis\, maintenance and troubleshooting considerations\n\nWhy this course?\nTaught by Dr Kevin Ward and Andrew Ray – Kevin is Biopharma Group’s Director of R&D and has worked in lyophilization since 1993. Andrew is Engineering Manager\, specialising in freeze dryer service\, repair\, installation\, validation and engineering training. \n\nSmall group format with direct access to expert instruction\nCombines lyophilization science\, best practice and engineering knowledge\nCovers product\, process and freeze-dryer system considerations\nIncludes practical workshops and multidisciplinary group exercises\nApplies learning to real-life lyo cycle and development questions\nCertificate of completion provided upon successful completion\n\nWho should attend?\n\nProfessionals working in pharma\, biopharma\, diagnostics\, medical and biotechnology settings\nScientists and engineers using lyophilization from R&D through to manufacturing\nR&D and formulation scientists developing or supporting lyophilized products\nLab managers and technicians involved in freeze-drying processes and analysis\nProduction operatives supporting lyophilization in manufacturing environments\nEngineers and technical support teams working with freeze-dryer systems\nQuality assurance teams supporting product quality and process control\nAnyone seeking a broader understanding of product\, process and system considerations\n\nREGISTER» \nHosted by:
