• 2.  What are Biologic Drugs?
  4m 7s
  In the following video, Dr. Stacy Springs will discuss defining the term "biologic drug" and how we will use it throughout the course. She will also begin to teach you why biologics must be engineered and manufactured to be efficacious. FREE ACCESS
• 3.  Intro to the History of Modern Biomanufacturing
  3m 50s
  In the following video, Dr. Paul Barone explores the early history of humans using cells for manufacturing. We start 9,000 years ago in China and end with Louis Pasteur's exploration of fermentation FREE ACCESS
• 4.  Using Cells to Manufacture Chemicals
  5m 1s
  In the following video, Professor Love will explain how war led to the development of cell culture processes to manufacture chemicals and describe the first use of aseptic processing, which is an important component of modern biomanufacturing. FREE ACCESS
• 5.  Using Cells to Manufacture Penicillin and Vaccines
  6m 17s
  In the following video, Dr. Springs will describe how the mold from a cantaloupe could be used to manufacture the "miracle drug" penicillin and how the culture of monkey cells could be used to produce a vaccine against polio. FREE ACCESS
• 6.  The History of Proteins as Therapeutics: Anti-Toxins
  3m 57s
  In this video, Dr. Barone explains how an inactivated bacterial toxin was used to manufacture the first anti-toxin, a cure for diphtheria. He also discusses the main drawbacks of such therapeutics. FREE ACCESS
• 7.  The Discovery And Isolation Of Insulin
  5m 56s
  In the following video, Professor Love will talk about the discovery of insulin in more detail. He will also discuss how insulin was first manufactured and the challenges that were faced in scaling up production of this life-saving medication FREE ACCESS
• 8.  Isolation of Protein Therapeutics from Plasma
  5m 14s
  In this video, Dr. Springs goes into more detail by explaining how albumin and Factor VIII were manufactured using a process called "plasma fractionation." These protein therapeutics have saved countless lives since their discovery FREE ACCESS
