Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful, high-throughput technology that enables rapid and comprehensive analysis of genetic material, offering unparalleled sensitivity for detecting known and unknown contaminants, verifying product integrity, and supporting regulatory compliance.This webinar discusses the practical applicability of NGS sequencing for vaccine development and testing by low- and middle-income country manufacturers (LMICs). This two-day webinar provides up-to-date information and guidance from subject matter experts on NGS methodology, validation, regulatory expectations, and controls. It features two real-world case studies and a panel discussion between regulatory experts.Speakers include:Kutub Mahmood, PhD, Project Director, Polio Vaccines, Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access, PATHTara Tagmyer, PhD, Scientific Director, Bacterial & Parasitic Diseases, Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access, PATHColette Cote, PhD, US General Manager and Chief Scientific and Portfolio Officer, PathoQuestArifa Khan, PhD, Head, Molecular Retrovirology Unit, Division of Viral Products, Office of Vaccines Research and Review in the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, US Food and Drug AdministrationBradley Hasson, MBA, Director of Lab Operations for Next Generation Sequencing, Millipore SigmaLeyla Diaz, PhD, Technical Consultant, Scientific and Regulatory Consultancy, Millipore SigmaKonstantin Chumakov, PhD, Adjunct Professor, George Washington University and University of MarylandJavier Martin, PhD, Principal Scientist, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (UK)Manasi Majumdar, PhD, Principal Scientist, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (UK)Yola Eka Erwinda, MS, Senior Laboratory Officer, Biological Products Laboratory Division, Indonesian Food and Drug ControlDevendra Barthwal, MS, Assistant Technical Officer, Central Drugs Laboratory, Kasauli, India, and certified WHO InspectorPlease note: The slides and recording from Day 2 presentation 2.3 are temporarily unavailable.
