Bioprocess Engineering and Bioseparations

3 Credits

Key concepts of bioprocess engineering and bioseparations needed for chemical engineers to succeed in the pharmaceutical industry, the food/beverage industry, and bio-based processes for energy production. Topics include enzymes and enzyme kinetics, growth rates, fermentation, batch processing and batch reactors, and bioactive molecule separation (filtration, gel electrophoresis, chromatography, and other forms of bioseparations for cell, protein, gene, antibody, and viral therapies).
