Fermentation Engineering
Learn the principles of fermentation and engineering fundamentals for growing production microorganisms in a bioreactor to express recombinant proteins. Gain a working understanding of essential unit operations for bioreactor cleaning as well as vessel and medium sterilization. Sample and monitor pilot scale bacterial fermentations for cell density and product formation. Engage in hands-on laboratory experiences that explore batch and fed-batch modes of operation and the parameters required to achieve a robust process.
