This 3-day hands-on training course is designed for individuals seeking to build core competencies in the cultivation and handling of mammalian cell lines within a controlled bioprocessing environment. Blending classroom-based theory with practical lab sessions, the course offers detailed exposure to the essential techniques and challenges associated with mammalian cell culture in bioreactors up to 1.5 L scale.
Participants will gain experience in cell line maintenance, media preparation, aseptic technique, and bioreactor operation—including inoculation, parameter control, viability monitoring, and contamination prevention. This training provides a strong foundation in mammalian bioprocessing, equipping attendees with the skills necessary for application in a biomanufacturing context. A certificate of completion will be awarded upon successful participation.
Learning outcomes
