Overview

This special edition of the advanced course in Cellular Bioprocess Technology is an abbreviated version of the annual summer short course offered at the University of Minnesota (http://cbt.umn.edu/). It is specifically designed for engineers to provide an overview of key aspects of cellular bioprocess technology and highlight the issues commonly faced in industry during cell culture process development.  The course material draws from more than two decades of process research and practical know-how and will provide participants with an understanding of the relevant physical principles in bioprocess operations.

Lecture Topics Include

• Cell biology and physiology for process engineering
• Medium design for cell culture
• Fed-batch culture and dynamic nutrient feeding
• Scale-up and scale-down of cell culture processes

Participating in this SBE/AIChE short course may qualify as CPC in certain jurisdictions. Attendees will receive a signed Professional Development Hours certificate at the end of the course.
