The course focuses on understanding the whole process of industrial bioprocesses e.g. cell cultivation, upstream and downstream processes, process interactions and engineering aspects of the process. The subject is based on expansion, synthesis and application of knowledge gained in basic subjects such as microbiology, biochemistry, physical chemistry and chemical engineering to bioengineering aspects of industrial bioprocesses. The subject brings new or significantly expanding existing knowledge in the field of mass balance bioprocesses, types of bioreactors and methods of management and control of bioprocesses.
Aim of the course -
