This 3-day hands-on training course is designed for professionals and researchers looking to develop expertise in downstream bioprocessing, covering key techniques such as Disc-stack Centrifugation, High-pressure Homogenization, Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF), and Chromatography. Participants will gain a strong theoretical foundation along with practical experience in operating industry-relevant equipment, optimizing process parameters, and troubleshooting common challenges.
The course includes lectures, practical demonstrations, and hands-on exercises hosted by the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC). By the end of the training, attendees will have the skills and confidence to apply downstream processing techniques in real-world bioprocessing applications. A certificate of completion will be awarded upon successful participation.
