Introduction to Bioprocessing

Bioprocessing is the basis for the manufacture of products to allow the translation of discoveries in life sciences to viable healthcare treatments. Business leaders in the life sciences must be capable of understanding the priorities and resources required for successful product development and commercialization. The primary goal of this course is to provide students with an awareness of biomanufacturing opportunities and challenges. The course provides background in biotechnology and describes the operations used in large-scale production of important biologic products. Business, scientific and practical industrial aspects will be presented through a series of lectures, interactive discussions, and student group presentations.
