Description

This module examines  various downstream processing aspects of a typical biopharmaceutical production process. It includes the various design factors that need to be considered for the design of an effective and efficient protein capture and purification process.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Design an effective and efficient downstream process for a protein capture and purification application.

2.

Outline and evaluate the various approaches to primary capture of the target material focusing primarily on affinity chromatography. 

3.

Describe the theory and practice of chromatography for purification applications including the various chromatographic types available and their relative advantages and disadvantages.

4.

Interpret and explain other  downstream processing technologies such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, diafiltration, centrifugation, electrophoresis and various viral exclusion techniques.

5.

Outline and evaluate the main quality control and analytical techniques required for downstream processing.

Required & Recommended Book List

Required Reading
2006-02-08 Biopharmaceuticals John Wiley & Sons
ISBN 9780470868393 ISBN-13 0470868392

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.

Required Reading
1988 Bioseparations Wiley-Interscience
ISBN UOM:39015012755750

Offers a concise introduction to the separation and purification of biochemicals. Bridges two scientific cultures, providing an introduction to bioseparations for scientists with no background in engineering and for engineers with little grounding in biology. The authors supplement the ideas by simple worked examples, making the techniques of bioseparations easy to learn. Discusses removal of insolubles, product isolation, purification and polishing.
