The BPDF assists university researchers, commercial companies, and not for profit organizations with the development of GMP-compliant manufacturing processes and test methods for early stage biopharmaceuticals, and produces bulk drug substances suitable for non-clinical and Phase I/II clinical trials. The BPDF also produces bulk intermediates for further processing, as well as industrial and agricultural enzymes, following appropriate GMP requirements

Design and optimization of production processes and all GMP manufacturing activities are performed in compliance with the BPDF’s Quality System, as described in the BPDF Quality Manual. The Quality System is designed to meet the requirements of U.S. 21CFR Part 11 and Parts 210/211, ICH Q5C, Q5D, Q7, Q10 and Q11, as well as applicable Eudralex Rules and compendial standards (USP/NF, Ph.Eur.).

To ensure that Quality System requirements are met and maintained, the Quality Assurance group performs periodic internal audits and encourages external quality audits of the facility and system. Prospective clients can request a quality audit. We can provide documentation for a desk audit or schedule an on-site audit.
