Microbial Fermentation Workshop

Microbial Fermentation Workshop

This 3-day workshop is designed to provide a deep dive into bioreactor principles and bioprocess development. Speakers are long time industry professionals who will and provide you with the fundamental knowledge and practical skills needed to design, develop, optimize, control, scale-up, analyze, and troubleshoot your fermentation processes.
 

Workshop Objectives:

• Understand the biological principles behind microbial metabolism, growth, and genetic modification
• Review the principles behind bioreactor design, operation, monitoring control, and scale up
• Learn how to improve fermentation performance through statistical design and analysis of experiments
• Learn a structured approach to downstream bioprocess design
• Learn how to carry out economic analysis of bioprocess operating and capital costs
• Solve real-world, industrial fermentation problems
