Aims
This module extends the biochemical engineering knowledge of students by providing understanding of the latest developments in bioprocess development, modelling, monitoring and control. The module provides chemical engineers with a breadth of knowledge in the area of bioprocess development with emphasis on biopharma and latest research developments in bioprocess modelling and control. These areas are exceedingly sought after by the (bio)pharmaceutical industries.
Outline Of Syllabus
The module will cover advanced concepts, such as Quality by Design and Process Analytical Technologies as a demonstration of structured approach to bioprocess development, latest measurement devices for analyses important in bioprocessing, data-based modelling techniques in bioprocess modelling, process development, supervision and control.
