Quality by Design (QbD) is a systematic approach to pharmaceutical development that begins with predefined objectives and emphasizes product and process understanding based on sound science and quality risk management.
This course introduces the principles, methodology, and tools that allow professionals to design and optimize pharmaceutical products and processes that consistently meet quality standards and regulatory expectations.
Participants will learn how to build a Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), identify Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs), define Critical Process Parameters (CPPs), and establish an effective Control Strategy that ensures consistent product performance throughout its lifecycle.
This course blends regulatory guidance (ICH Q8-Q11, FDA QbD model) with practical examples of formulation and process optimization.

Great stories are for everyone even when only written for just one person. If you try to write with a wide general audience in mind, your story will ring false and be bland. No one will be interested. Write for one person. If it’s genuine for the one, it’s genuine for the rest.
