Description (French)
Northern RNA travaille actuellement à la fabrication de vaccins à base d'ARNm et d'ADN, conforme aux BPF, dans ses installations de Calgary, en Alberta. La certification BPF exige le développement et la documentation de tous les procédés liés à la fabrication du produit. Notre objectif est de fabriquer 100 millions de doses de vaccins au début du premier trimestre 2022. Ce projet vise à documenter nos procédés exclusifs de fabrication BPF et à soutenir la rédaction des procédures opérationnelles normalisées (PON) requises.
