Comments from Attendees

  • Absolute recommended as it was a beneficial training.
  • I will recommend the next CoE Workshop to my colleagues due to its exceptional value in the field of biotherapeutics. The workshop offers a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical hands-on experience, covering crucial aspects of biotherapeutics development, manufacturing, and regulation. Moreover, the networking opportunities with professionals from across the APEC region are invaluable for fostering potential collaborations and knowledge exchange. Participation in this workshop would significantly enhance our team's expertise and contribute to our organization's growth in the rapidly evolving biotherapeutics landscape.
  • The information and knowledge gained was helpful to supplement our routine work.
  • It is a valuable experience and opportunity to learn the latest knowledge on the manufacturing process and guidelines of biological products. I will definitely recommend this workshop to my colleagues.
  • The lecture and Hands-on practices are very helpful for CMC reviewers to see the actual manufacturing process of biotherapeutics, not just from the flowcharts and description from submission dossiers.
  • The training was very valuable, improved my practical skills and allowed me to learn new techniques and procedures.

  • The workshop's organization was excellent. I appreciated very much the time I spent at Kobe during the workshop.
  • The courses and hands-on training are very useful for biotherapeutic CMC reviewers. The speaker also shared their fruitful experiences for reviewing and considerations which are meaningful for other reviewers' practice. The hands-on training gave participants chances to run the method which usually be applied to test the biotherapeutics and learn the principles as well.
  • The arrangement for this workshop has already been perfect. Thank you so much for all your contributions.
  • The program content is half a day of class and half a day of hands-on training keeps the attention focused and the topics are all related. I really liked the hands-on training part of the workshop was an outstanding experience. It provided was an opportunity to see "in practice" techniques and aspects of our activities as CMC reviewers that we can only see in the documentation.
  • This course fulfills my expectations, expands my knowledge, and provides practical insights into CMC development and GMP inspection, which will benefit my current work and contribute to its continuous improvement.
  • I really appreciate the combination of lecture and hands-on training for this workshop. It helped me further understand the manufacturing process of biotherapeutic products.
  • Workshop in Kobe University was a great experience, because it is very important to update knowledge in CMC and have the opportunity to practice in the laboratory
  • The hands-on training is very useful in helping evaluators and GMP inspectors to get a better understanding of the whole process of biotherapeutic products. Such knowledge we will never get it from dossiers/ guidelines/ books.
  • This workshop is a very good opportunity to learn and understand other regulators' perspectives in CMC reviewing and GMP inspection as well. It is worth to have hands-on training, especially for those reviewers who are not familiar with the analytical test.
  • This workshop is a very great learning opportunity for CMC reviewers to further understand the manufacturing process of biotherapeutic products. We have interacted and learned a lot from the experts from Kobe University and PMDA.
