Vaccine production technologies

The CSIR is hosting a cohort of participants for a vaccine production technologies course as part of its African Biomanufacturing Workforce Training and Skills Development Programme.

This course assists in growing and developing the vaccine production sector on the African continent through training and innovative bioprocess solutions.

Participants are currently at the CSIR’s Scientia campus for hands-on training, following two weeks of virtual theoretical training. The training curriculum provides practical experience in vaccine production platforms and production stages, as well as training for all unit operations using Chinese Hamster Ovary cell lines.

An official certification event is scheduled for Friday, 26 July 2024, during which the CSIR will confer certificates of completion to participants.
