We are currently working to restore past course completion data, which is expected to be updated through December 22nd. If you notice missing content or incorrect training records, please contact us at CustomerService@aiche.org. Kindly allow 2–3 business days for responses.
Learn the fundamentals of biotechnology with this course designed for chemical engineers working in design, operations, or other support functions.
This online course focuses on the methods used to develop cell lines to produce a variety of biological drug products. It begins by presenting an overview of microorganisms, other cells, and identification techniques commonly used. These concepts are then used to introduce the methods used for cell line development, metabolic engineering, and several “omics” tools. The final session focuses on expression and purification of biological drug products; monitoring cell growth and product expression; and fermentation/cell culture.
Learning Outcomes:
-
Explain how microbes and cells are identified.
-
Identify main categories of biological drugs and how they are produced.
-
Explain methods for cell line development.
-
Identify technologies used to monitor cell growth and product expression.
-
Compare fermentation and cell culture techniques.
Who Should Attend:
Any chemical engineer working in design, operations, or a support function who wants a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of biotechnology processes.
