This two-day course is designed to familiarize you with the integrated, interdisciplinary approach required in modern biotechnology.  

Accomplished instructors will cover a combination of theoretical and practical work, resulting in an intensive and in-depth treatment of the subject of conversion of biomass to bioproducts. 

This course also provides the necessary link between fundamental subjects (e.g. microbial physiology/genetic engineering) and practical applications in large-scale biotechnological processes.

This course will help you:

• Acquire practical training in the field of microbial culture, bioreactor operation, bio-process paradigm, and separation technology.
• Increase your understanding of industrial chemical fermentation biotechnology through simulation, sterilization technologies, and industrial implications, as well as related research done across different countries, universities, and industries. 
• Learn about new technologies in fermentation and separation biotechnology industries and scale-up of bioreactor, and experiments of the critical control parameters required for the fermentation process.
• Gain insight into entrepreneurship, intellectual property protection, available grant funds, lean startup and the business canvas, approaching investors, and investment and exit strategies.
• Leverage this course to establish a network of academia and industry experts.
