UCL DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Learn how experimental design techniques can be used to rapidly understand and optimise bioprocess performance.

This module shows practitioners how experimental design techniques can be used to rapidly understand and optimise bioprocess performance. It provides managers with methods to ensure the whole bioprocess sequence is operating robustly and development budgets are used effectively. Training is focused on the hands on use of DoE software rather than underlying statistics.
Bioprocess case studies, supported by a series of introductory and expert lectures will enable you to:

Generate appropriate experimental designs within fixed research budgets and timescales.
Ensure analytical methods can be validated and provide reliable data for process evaluation.
Rapidly screen and optimise different fermentation media and operating conditions.
Obtain the highest yield of active product throughout your downstream process sequence.

Who should attend?
The course is designed for all those involved in bioprocess development and optimisation including:
Bioprocess applications specialists
Hands-on bioprocess scientists and engineers Research managers and consultants
