Professional opportunities

Particular attention will be devoted to the sterilization of nanosystems and the stability of materials, including packaging, to the sterilization process. Furthermore, the contamination control strategy and risk analysis relating to microbial contamination will be covered. We will also cover the automation of processes as a tool to reduce contamination and maximize productivity. 

In the light of the amendment of Annex 1 to the GMP relating to the production of sterile products, companies in the pharmaceutical sector are required to amend the approach in assessing the microbiological risk associated not only with the production of tailings but also with other types of product.  

The post graduation program (Master) aims at training experts in sterilization that could operate in the pharmaceutical, medical device, and food industries. The program (Master) will provide advanced theoretical-practical knowledge of microbiology and will focus on the regulatory aspects relating to sterilization and the containment of contamination with a reference to the specific legislation of each sector. The program will deal with the aspects related to the sterilization processes, taking into account the currently authorized technologies (heat sterilization, gammaturation, chemical sterilization and sterilizing filtration) with a focus on the methodologies used for the evaluation of sterilization and contamination.
