Bioprocessing

3 cr · Graduate

This course allows students with a background in either biological sciences or engineering to gain an understanding of biochemical engineering processes used to enable important chemical conversions by biological systems. Topics include bioprocessing for production of biofuels, bioplastics, and biopharmaceuticals, upstream processing technologies, fermentation and bioreactor systems, and downstream processing for product recovery. These will be related to present or potential industrial applications. This course is also offered in the Department of Biosystems Engineering as BIOE 7180 . MBIO 7070 cannot be held with BIOE 7180 .
