Design of

Process Analytical Systems

 

Abstract:

The ability to characterize input materials and monitor a process in real time enables sophisticated control strategies that maintain tight quality specifications regardless of perturbations. The presentation will discuss the engineering tools and knowledge required to design and deploy Process Analytical Technology (PAT) solutions in pharmaceutical drug substance and drug product manufacturing as an example of advanced sensing techniques which enable process control. Current PAT technologies will be discussed including the engineering theory, principles, and mathematics required to design and deploy these technologies in a pharmaceutical manufacturing environment in compliance with FDA and international regulations. There will be an overview of analyzer types and principles of operation, chemometric techniques for multivariate analysis, multivariate process models, dynamic process control, and advanced pattern recognition techniques. In addition, the presentation will cover the technical aspects of real-time data management and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

About the Speaker:

Daniel J. Wasser. PhD

Dr. Wasser has BS and MS degrees in Chemical Engineering and a PhD in a Biomedical Engineering and Mathematics. He began his career at Mobil Oil where he was involved in a number of projects ranging from automation of pilot-scale catalyst test units to multivariate control of refining processes. For the past fifteen years he has worked in the pharmaceutical industry and is currently Associate Director of Process Intelligence and Technology at Bristol-Myers Squibb. While at BMS, he has been involved in the design and deployment of PAT-based process monitoring and control systems for API manufacturing at both the pilot and commercial scale. In addition to his work at BMS, Dr. Wasser is an adjunct professor at Stevens Institute of Technology where he teaches a course on the design of PAT systems for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
