Immunization and Bioprocessing

Immunization is that the process whereby someone is formed immune or immune to an communicable disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body's own system to guard the person against subsequent infection or disease. New bioprocess technologies like single-use equipment and process automation open up novel possibilities for internal control and validation. this can be especially important in GMP-regulated environments like within the development and manufacturing of recent influence vaccines. When facing a deadly disease outbreak, the requirement to smoothly develop new processes and quickly rescale to clinical production volumes is vital to efficiently develop new vaccinations.
