FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Malvern, Pennsylvania – February 10, 2021

The Center for Professional Innovation and Education (CfPIE) is excited to announce our latest course, Laboratory Equipment Validation and Qualification. This virtual course will run March 8 & 9th, and is designed for individuals who perform, supervise, manage, audit, or oversee the validation of text methods in any lab utilizing cGMP, GLP, and similar manufacturing processes.

The course aims to provide participants with a thorough understanding of FDA expectations when it comes to validation and qualification of laboratory equipment, industry best practices, how to plan effective and compliant lab equipment programs, and why these processes are a foundation aspect for maintaining sustainability. 

The course will be taught by CfPIE’s Julie Barnhill, Ph.D., who commands deep industry expertise through her work as a consultant with Meridian BioGroup LLC, head of QA Compliance at Osiris Therapeutics and Alpharma, and Director of Quality Control and Analytical Development at Chesapeake Biological Laboratories. She also has extensive expertise advising for biopharma and pharmaceutical companies with products in the preclinical, clinical, and commercial stages of drug development.

Participants will engage in seven sections, which include a detailed introduction, laboratory equipment validation and qualification processes, discussion of roles and responsibilities, software validation, change control, laboratory equipment validation and qualification documentation/creation, and equipment (instrumental) categories. 

“After receiving numerous requests from clients for a training session to cover the latest FDA guidelines on equipment validation, CfPIE is excited to deliver a two-day course which thoroughly addresses the FDA’s increased focus on this topic”, Mark Mazzie, CEO, CfPIE.
