Description

Course given only for Biotechnology Bachelor students This course emphasizes the application of biological and engineering principles to problems involving microbial and biological/biochemical systems. The aims of the course are to review fundamentals and provide an up-to-date account of current knowledge in biological and biochemical technology with special emphases in microbial cell systems. Mammalian cell systems will be briefly introduced. The lectures will emphasize and place perspectives on biological systems with industrial practices. The course is intended for biotechnology and other students who are interested in the areas of biological systems in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. It is desirable that individuals enrolled be familiar with some of the general aspects of modern biology, genetics, biochemical engineering and biochemistry. Some general knowledge of mathematics is also desirable for dealing with the engineering aspects of the course.
