Synopsis

Vaccine Manufacturing and Production is an invaluable reference on how to produce a vaccine - from beginning to end - addressing all classes of vaccines from a processing, production, and regulatory viewpoint. It will provide comprehensive information on the various fields involved in the production of vaccines, from fermentation, purification, formulation, to regulatory filing and facility designs. In recent years, there have been tremendous advances in all aspects of vaccine manufacturing. Improved technology and growth media have been developed for the production of cell culture with high cell density or fermentation. Vaccine Manufacturing and Production will serve as a reference on all aspects of vaccine production by providing an in-depth description of the available technologies for making different types of vaccines and the current thinking in facility designs and supply issues. This book will provide insight to the issues scientists face when producing a vaccine, the steps that are involved, and will serve as a reference tool regarding state-of-the-art vaccine manufacturing technologies and facility set-up.

Highlights include:

• Comprehensive coverage of vaccine production : from a process point of view- fermentation to purification to formulation developments; from a production point of view - from facility design to manufacturing; and from a regulatory point of view - requirements from government agencies
• Authors from different major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
• Describes the challenges and issues involved in vaccine production and manufacturing of the different classes of vaccines, an area not covered by other books currently on the market

From the Back Cover

Invaluable reference on how to produce a vaccine from beginning to end

Vaccine production is a major unit of many pharmaceutical companies. With several biotechnology companies involved in developing new types of vaccines, tremendous advances are been observed continually in all aspects of vaccine manufacturing. Novel adjuvants discovered in recent years have shown great promises in human clinical trials by helping elicit stronger immune response and provide durable memory effects. New concepts in facility designs have enabled multiple use of the same facility. Vaccine Development and Manufacturing serves as a reference on all aspects of vaccine production by providing an in-depth description of the available technologies for making different types of vaccines and the current thinking in facility designs and supply issues.

Vaccine Development and Manufacturing comprehensively covers a wide range of issues from the following:

• Process perspective fermentation to purification to formulation developments
• Production facility design to manufacturing
• Regulatory perspective requirements from government agencies
• Challenges and issues involved in manufacturing different types of vaccines

With contributions by authors from various major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, this book will be a resource for a plethora of experts, including R&D scientists, medical professionals, regulatory specialists, clinical researchers, manufacturing specialists, and quality-related personnel. This book will provide insights to the issues that scientists face and the steps involved in producing a vaccine, and will be a reference for state-of-the-art vaccine manufacturing technologies and facility setup.
