Description
This module examines various upstream processing aspects of a typical biopharmaceutical production process. It includes the various design factors that need to be considered for bioprocess design. The primary focus will be on recombinant mammalian cell culture lines with some aspects of microbial lines also included.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Identify and evaluate the main factors that are involved in the design of an upstream bioprocessing system including which cell line to choose for a particular processing application and the cell‑line storage conditions ‑ cell banking and cell culture scale‑up.
2.
Outline and evaluate the process kinetics relating to cell growth and productivity for a bioreactor process and the overall impact upon mass transfer balances in a bioreactor for air/oxygen and carbon-dioxide.
3.
Identify and interpret the basic mass and energy transfer details for oxygen and carbon dioxide within a bioreactor process.
4.
Evaluate and discuss the various designs of bioreactors available and their key features including relative advantages and disadvantages. Also describe the different options for media feeding systems.
5.
Describe the main aspects of bioreactor control and operation including the various instrumentation types involved.

The latest edition of this highly acclaimed textbook, provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the science and medical applications of biopharmaceutical products. Biopharmaceuticals refers to pharmaceutical substances derived from biological sources, and increasingly, it is synonymous with 'newer' pharmaceutical substances derived from genetic engineering or hybridoma technology. This superbly written review of the important areas of investigation in the field, covers drug production, plus the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of action together with the biotechnology of major biopharmaceutical types on the market or currently under development. There is also additional material reflecting both the technical advances in the area and detailed information on key topics such as the influence of genomics on drug discovery.

Biotechnology's wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary activities include recombinant DNA techniques, cloning, and the application of microbiology to the production of goods from bread to antibiotics. In this new edition, biology and bioprocessing topics are uniquely combined to provide a complete overview of biotechnology. A distinctive feature of the text is the discussions of the public perception of biotechnology and the business of biotechnology, which set the science in a broader context. This comprehensive textbook is essential reading for all students of biotechnology and applied microbiology, and for researchers in biotechnology industries.

This concise yet comprehensive text introduces the essential concepts of bioprocessing - internal structure and functions of different types of microorganisms, major metabolic pathways, enzymes, microbial genetics, kinetics and stoichiometry of growth and product information - to traditional chemical engineers and those in related disciplines. It explores the engineering principles necessary for bioprocess synthesis and design, and illustrates the application of these principles to modern biotechnology for production of pharmaceuticals and biologics, solution of environmental problems, production of commodities, and medical applications.
