Prel. scheduled hours: 66
Rec. self-study hours: 94

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Engineering Biology

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course gives the students an overview of the field and give them experience in solving engineering tasks of process analytical and process design character. Focus is on manufacturing of biologicals. Practical training in cultivation techniques and use of bioreactor equipment. Training in oral and written reporting using adequate engineering terminology. Good understanding for principles of process analytical technology concepts (PAT) and quality by design (QbD) aspects on manufacturing.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Courses in technology and natural sciences according to the KB/TB program year 1-3. Ability to simulate bioreactors using MATLAB or equivalent software programs. Basic knowledge on large-scale bioprocessing. Basic knowledge on production systems in industrial biotechnology, biostatistics, and pharmaceuticals based on biotechnology.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course program is based on classes, laboratory modelling and project. The project takes three full days. The course is coordinated with the CDIO-course TFTB32.

Course contents:
Design and simulation methodology for industrial biotechnical production processes. Focus on pharmaceutical products. Training in culturing protein producing organisms and use of advanced monitoring and control techniques; design tool software programming; mathematical modelling of key design issues. Analytical methods for cultivation and in-process control. Regulatory quality guidelines for biotechnology manufacturing. Training in presentation skills.
