Introduction to Biomanufacturing 1 – Biomanufacturing and Biotech Principles

By the end of the course, you will have a basic understanding of industrial biotechnology and its application areas, the fundamentals of biomanufacturing, its terminology, methodologies, and strategies and be able to: 

• Describe the basic concepts of biomanufacturing
• Understand the standard tools and instruments used in the fermentation process
• Discuss examples of industrial bioproduction
• Discuss challenges in scale up and scale down of bioprocesses
• Reflect on the use and potential of industry 4.0/digitalization in biomanufacturing
• Recognize common problems and suggest solutions

The course is especially beneficial for individuals who need to become more knowledgeable about the field of biological manufacturing and production, technology and process development and are curious about automation and data science in biotechnology.

This course targets professionals with background, skills, and/or experience in the following areas:

• Natural scientists from a different field of expertise 
• Engineering and production disciplines from design, planning, RD and operations
• Postdocs and senior scientists who want to update themselves in a different science field 
• Non-scientific professionals from administration, finance, sales or other non-technical disciplines, who are seeking to gain a thorough understanding of biotechnology and applied tools and methods.

Participants do not need to have specific knowledge in the field of biotechnology other than a basic high-school level understanding of natural sciences.

Here you will find important information for short course participants regarding cancellation policies, location and waitlist policies.
