Upstream processing
Selection of:
- production host
- medium/supplements
- cultivation modes and feeding strategies
- consumables/equipment/disposables
- examples of bioreactors and processes for biotechnological and biopharmaceutical products
Downstream Processing
•Host cell derived impurities (Protein, DNA, endotoxins, critical impurities)
•Flocculation, Precipitation, Crystallization
•Extraction
•Protein refolding
•Removal of impurities and adventitious agents
•Virus/TSE inactivation strategies
•Continuous purification strategies (SMB, CCE, CCC)
•Purification of antibodies, plasmids, viruses, and virus like particles
•Protein stabilisation
- Previous knowledge expected
-
Basics chemical engineering knowledge is requested. This includes basics in heat, mass, momentum transfer, and basics in thermodynamics. Solutions of differential equations (ODE solver). Furthermore basic knowledge in cell culture technology and cell biology is desirable
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
After successful completion of this course, students are able:
-to select suitable medium composition and supplements, choice of production host, selsct suitable reactor, cultivaton mode and feeding strategy a swell as unit operations for a given biotechnological production problem, such as manufacturing of bioactive compounds (eg protein, antibody vaccine)
-to select appropriate quality and in-process control methods and standards for biotechnological manufacturing.
