    What Is Quality by Design in Pharma?A Practical Route to Built-In Quality

    Quality by Design (QbD) training in the Dominican Republic teaches pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical professionals how to build quality into a product from the design stage rather than testing it in at the end. QbD is a systematic, science-based approach mandated by the ICH Q8(R2), Q9, Q10 and Q11 guidelines and increasingly expected by regulators such as the FDA and EMA in modern development and manufacturing submissions. Over one focused day, you learn to apply the core QbD toolkit: the Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP), Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs), risk assessment with Ishikawa diagrams and FMEA, Design of Experiments (DoE), the design space, Process Analytical Technology and the control strategy. Hands-on exercises use realistic development scenarios so you can apply each tool the day you return to work. The programme suits formulation and analytical scientists, process development engineers, quality assurance professionals and regulatory affairs (CMC) specialists across the Dominican Republic's growing pharmaceutical, medical device and free-zone manufacturing base. Start building the QbD capability that export-focused employers now look for.
