Industrial Biotechnology and Biorefining

Module Delivered at CPI, Wilton

Strengthen your knowledge and learn how to improve your biocatalytic processes

31 October - 2 November 2012

This unique module will introduce options for integrating biocatalysis into chemical manufacturing processes, and also explore methodologies in synthetic biology for biocatalyst design.

In this module a series of lectures, problem solving case studies, and a discussion workshop will provide close interaction with key academic and industrial speakers, enabling you to:

• Strengthen your knowledge in biocatalysis, and whole biotransformation processes, from fermentation to product.
• Understand the available chemistries in biocatalysis, and their use in industrial applications.
• Evaluate biological engineering and reaction engineering options.
• Explore microscale experimentation to improve your large scale biocatalytic process development.

Who should attend?

This course is designed for all those involved in the development of industrial biotechnology including:

• Process Engineers
• Biocatalyst developers and biologists
• Chemists
• Research Managers and Consultants
