Design of Experiments for Bioprocess Optimisation

The Modular Training for the Bioprocess Industries (MBI) programme pioneered by UCL Biochemical Engineering is a series of intensive short modules designed for professionals in the bioprocessing industry. The MBI Programme has a long history of equipping the bioprocessing industry's workforce with up-to-date skills and knowledge of process options in order to rapidly develop validatable, efficient and robust processes.

This module shows laboratory scientists and engineers how experimental design techniques can be used to rapidly understand and optimise bioprocess performance.

Training is focused on the hands on use of DoE software rather than underlying statistics. Bioprocess case studies, supported by a series of introductory and expert lectures will enable you to:

  • Generate appropriate experimental designs within fixed research budgets and timescales.
  • Ensure analytical methods can be validated and provide reliable data for process evaluation.
  • Rapidly screen and optimise different fermentation media and operating conditions.
  • Obtain the highest yield of active product throughout your downstream process sequence.
  • Understand the relationship between DoE and QbD.
  • Network with sector leaders and subject matter experts.

Emphasis is on teaching through interactive problem solving case studies in small classes for effective learning.

The cost of the course includes tuition, course materials, lunches, refreshments and a networking dinner. Accommodation is not included.
