Learning Objective

Course provides an overview and hands-on lab activities of upstream, downstream, and analytical operations within the biomanufacturing industry.Participants will learn how to work in a controlled environment, aseptic technique, and how to operate basic laboratory equipment.Participants will then produce a model protein during a series of upstream activities including plating, bioreactor assembly, culture media preparation, seed culturing, inoculation, batch cultivation, harvesting, and eukaryotic cell counting.  Participants will also learn a series of downstream techniques to purify protein by performing homogenization, centrifugation, buffer preparation, sterile filtration, tangential flow filtration, column packing, column cleaning and sanitization, ion exchange chromatography, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Finally, participants will perform a small set of analytical techniques including OD and metabolite measurements, BCA assay, and membrane integrity testing.

Target Audience

This course is ideal for individuals seeking an understanding of the primary unit operations and process of biologics manufacturing.
