Training Overview

At ABVD, we are shaping the future of biologics and vaccine manufacturing in Africa. Our 12-week immersive training program is designed for students and professionals in Life Science, Biology related Technology or Engineering field who want hands-on experience in cutting-edge biopharmaceutical technologies.

From mRNA vaccine development to cell and gene therapies, this program takes you through the entire biomanufacturing process—from computational biology-driven molecule identification to cGMP-compliant drug substance and product manufacturing. You’ll also gain expertise in quality control (QC), quality assurance (QA), process validation, and regulatory pathways to drug approval.

By the end of this course, you won’t just understand the science—you’ll be ready to apply it in real-world biomanufacturing settings.
