Subject: [IOBB-NR] EFB Bioprocess Engineering Course Flyer
Dear friends,
You are kindly asked to proceed over ESBES e-mail net a Flyer for our
Bioprocess Engineering Course, World Principal doctoral/postdoctoral
level Master course.
Bioprocess Engineering Course was established in 1989 as a sum of
all of gradual level education activities of WG on Bioreactor
Performance, Measurement and Control and Down Stream Processing, so it
was actually first joint project of European engineering activities
and predecessor of lateral European Section on Biochemical
Engineering Sciences.
In present time it is still the most outstanding Biochemical
Engineering education activity. It is great international project
active in every second year. Bioprocess Engineering Course is
dedicated to the specialists in biotechnology and biochemical
engineering -Ph.D. students and experienced biotechnologists from
research institutes, universities and industry. Participants are
expected to have a background in chemical/biochemical engineering,
biotechnology, a biological science or a related discipline. The
lecturers are all acknowledged specialists in their fields, so that
the course also provides a forum for highlighting recent research in
relevant areas.
The next course in the long line of highly successful courses since
the mid-1980s on Bioprocess Engineering will take place from 14th –
19th September 2008. Like the last one in 2006, it will be held on
the beautiful Island of Brac, Croatia in the Adriatic Sea. It is
organised under the auspices of The European Federation of
Biotechnology by the Working Group on Bioreactor Performance, in
collaboration with other Working Groups (Working Group on Modelling,
Monitoring, Measurement & Control and Working Group on Downstream
Processing and Recovery of Bioproducts) of the Section on Biochemical
Engineering Science.
All of the lectures will be given by internationally distinguished
university teachers or by leading experts from multinational
companies. The course covers the full spectrum of bioprocess
engineering, starting from genetic concepts for micro-organisms used
to produce pharmaceutical and other products via microbial physiology,
bioreaction kinetics to bioreactor design and scale-up. The organisms
considered range from simple bacteria to highly specialised animal
cell cultures.
There is also a strong coverage of measurement, control and
optimisation and how they interact with each other and with the
specific bioreaction of interest. Finally, there is a broad-brush
coverage of downstream processing. All of the lectures are
supplemented by computer-based (MATLAB) exercises (no previous
experience of MATLAB is required), discussions and a Case Study and
participants are also encouraged to bring posters of their work.
Selected candidates will be invited to make short oral presentations
(of approximately 5 minutes duration), at a 'Speakers' Corner', to be
held during the course. Finally, there is a strong social programme,
specifically designed to ensure that there are many opportunities to
discuss the course with the lecturers.
