Learning outcomes
On completion of the course the student shall be able to:
- choose strategies for the design and production of biologicals
- specify appropriate methods for the analysis of produced material
- plan and evaluate projects for the development of biologicals, incl. designing a project plan with timelines and resources
- prepare and present documentation for patent application and commercialization.
Content
The course focuses on technical design and implementation of development projects for biologicals. Practical prerequisites for production on a commercial scale, incl. recombinant production systems, purification and analysis. Product quality and safety.
Instruction
Lectures, seminars, group work in project form, possibly study visit.
Assessment
Oral presentation of the project and written project report, with emphasis on individual contribution to the project work.
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
