About

The major objective of the course will be to impart training on fermentation principles and engineering fundamentals of growing microorganisms in a bioreactor to express industrially important biomolecules. This workshop will also help the participants to gain fundamental understanding of the relationship between process design and product quality. Participants of the workshop will also engage in hands-on pilot-scale laboratory experiences that define and explore the critical control parameters required to achieve a robust fermentation process.

Focus Areas

Topics/Themes to be discussed:

  • Microbial cells growth and product formation kinetics: yield and productivity
  • The critical components of an industrial bioreactor
  • Determination of  critical parameters for fermentation process
  • The importance of mixing and aeration: Mass transfer
  • Scale-up of fermentation processes
  • Sterilization of fermentation equipment
  • Fundamentals of downstream processing for biochemical product recovery
  • Examining traditional unit operations, as well as new concepts and emerging technologies that are likely to benefit biochemical product recovery in the future
  • Design and operation of unit processes with centrifugation, chromatography, filtration, and membrane processes

Targeted Participants

Minimum Qualification: B.Tech /M.Sc in any branch of life sciences and allied subjects. The course will be beneficial for those who are seeking a hands-on course on the engineering aspects of fermentation and downstream processing for example:

  • Biotechnologists and Microbiologists engaged in fermentation industry.
  • Bioprocess development scientists and engineers
  • Fermentation supervisors and/or managers looking to build engineering skills
  • Scientists with experience in other biomanufacturing areas, such as validation, quality assurance, and R&D
  • Protein biochemists and chemists involved in design and optimization of recovery processes
  • Individuals who hold engineering degrees but have limited hands-on experience in biotechnology or fermentation
