to 13 Nov

BioProcess360: Integrated Upstream and Downstream Bioprocessing training (5 Days)

This 5-day comprehensive training course offers an end-to-end exploration of the biomanufacturing process, integrating both upstream and downstream operations into a unified, hands-on learning experience. Participants will begin by cultivating a recombinant protein using a microbial expression system in a 30 L stainless steel stirred-tank bioreactor, gaining direct experience in bioreactor setup, sterilisation, inoculation, monitoring, and harvest procedures.

The course then transitions to downstream processing, where participants will apply industry-relevant techniques including disc-stack centrifugation, high-pressure homogenisation, tangential flow filtration (TFF), and chromatography to recover and purify the expressed protein. With a balanced focus on theoretical grounding and practical application, this course is ideal for professionals seeking a complete understanding of the bioprocessing workflow—from cell culture through to purified product.
A certificate of completion will be awarded upon successful participation.
