The West Coast Biomanufacturing Consortium for Automation and Data analytics (BioCAD) will develop and pilot programs to train incumbent employees in contemporary data engineering and analytics approaches for biomanufacturing and support them with the application and integration of these skills into their regular workflows.
Accelerates and de-risks the creation, validation, and delivery of project-based workforce training models in data analytics that support real-world knowledge acquisition and integration for bioprocessing.
Upskills incumbent engineers and scientists to better grasp the utility of data and utilize domain knowledge and close proximity to complex data sets to drive gains in quality, productivity, cost-efficiency, and speed-to-market.
The SCU-Genentech team designed, developed, and piloted 13 hours of foundational biomanufacturing data analytics applied learning content, providing introductions to data programming and the application of multivariate statistical methods using low-cost, opensource data programming tools.
Training provided hands-on introductions to tools and methods to enhance participant knowledge of the importance and capabilities of analytics for biomanufacturing optimization and to build their capacity to identify and solve important problems with data scientists.
The consortium successfully recruited a second academic partner, two industry association partners, and another global biopharmaceutical company to expand the pilot into a more complete introductory online boot camp series.
