This 3-day course will strengthen knowledge of fermentation processes and through a series of lectures and case studies will enable participants to:
- Define different modes of fermentation and know their limitations
- Develop a suitable medium and perform a material balance
- Interpret fermentation data and use it effectively
- Characterise the kinetics of cell growth and how they apply to different cell systems
- Determine fermentation productivity and yields
- Learn about new developments in fermentation technology (single use bioreactors)
- Develop a strategy for fermentation process development
This module is suitable for scientists and engineers who wish to familiarise themselves with fermentation processes and those who wish to build underlying principles into their operational expertise in areas of research, process development and manufacturing.
Emphasis is on teaching through interactive problem solving case studies in small classes for effective learning. Each course is UCL-accredited and can be taken individually or combined for a Masters level qualification.
