About the course
Biological products including recombinant therapeutic proteins/antibodies, vaccines, gene therapy and nucleic acids are rapidly transforming medicine and healthcare. In contrast to chemical drugs, biologics are complex molecules, which require complex production methods design and characterisation.
In this course, the advanced industrial methods for the production of biologics are studied. We examine and discuss the design of bioprocesses that aim for the economic and safe production of high-quality biologics. In collaboration with the Testa Center and Cytiva in Uppsala instrumentation and bioprocess design choices are exemplified and compared. The course consists of seminars (2 credits), and an individual research/literature project (1 credit).
This course can be studied separately or together with any of the following courses: Experimental Industrial Bioprocess II: Cultivation and Harvest, 2 credits, Experimental Industrial Bioprocess III: Analysis and Evaluation of Results, 2 credits.
Outline for distance course: Communication between teachers and students takes place on a learning management system and with email and e-meeting tools. Access to a computer with a stable internet connection and a web camera is required.
