Fermentation Engineering

Why Should You Attend

Learn fermentation principles and engineering fundamentals of growing recombinant microorganisms in a bioreactor to express therapeutic proteins. Gain fundamental understanding of the relationship between process design and product quality. Engage in hands-on pilot-scale laboratory experiences that define and explore the critical control parameters required to achieve a robust fermentation process. 

Attend And You Will Learn

  • How microbial cells grow and express product
  • The critical components of an industrial bioreactor
  • How to determine critical control parameters for your process
  • The importance of mixing and aeration
  • how to experimentally determine the mass transfer coefficient
  • Automation and control including Process Analytical technology (PAT) and FT-NIR
  • How to determine yield and productivity
  • What to look for during scale-up
  • the proper methods to clean and sterilize fermentation equipment
