Overview
The unit explores how scalable commercially viable process-unit operations are harnessed by the biotechnology industry for the sustainable processing of biomolecules such as recombinant proteins, vaccines, enzymes, nucleic acids, biochemicals and bioplastics. Bioprocess engineering concepts will be developed within workshops and practice classes complemented with practical laboratory sessions. There will … For more content click the Read More button below.
