3.00 Credits
This course deals with the modification of properties of natural and artificial biomaterials and the production of edible products or raw materials for the pharmaceutical, nutriceutical, and cosmeceutical industries. There will be an introduction to the design of applications for by-product recovery and recycling, environmental, food processing, and biomedical industries. Commercialization of biomaterial feed stocks, biotechnology output, and bioprocessing by-products into traditional and alternative products will be explored. Prerequisite(s): BIO 315 with a grade of C or better (3,3) 4 credits Contingent on demand
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction is provided to governmental oversight of drugs, devices and biotherapeutics, and the laws and regulations that apply to development, testing, and validation of methods and equipment. There is a survey of the history of U.S. food and drug law, the creation of the FDA, and the current organization and responsibilities of the FDA. Specific U.S. laws and regulations applicable to drugs, devices and biologics and international regulations and import/export concerns are examined. Details of the procedures and key issues for new product submissions for drugs, devices, biologics, and combination products, and the FDA product approval process, are presented. Laboratory activities include the development of product manufacturing procedures, practice in validation documentation, exposure to the FDA inspection process, and analysis of FDA regulatory actions. Prerequisite(s): BIO 340 with a grade of C or better, IND 401 with a grade of C or better (3,0) 3 credits Contingent on demand
