Biotechnological Processes from Lab to Market

Type Lecture
Nr. M+V2500
Hours per week 4.0
Content

The students will aquire knowledge in the preparation of business cases and the finacial evaluation of biotechnological projects. Moreover, an introduction in the protection of intellectual property will be given. 

In a case study, students will aquire knowledge how to develop industrial products starting with bioinformatics via the recombinant expression of proteins in Pichia pastoris. The purification of proteins as well as the characterization of enzymes will be covered in depth. Bioanalytical knowledge is acquired in the field of Circular Economy. In detail, methods for bioanalytics are discussed (HPTLC, HPLC, GC and IC). Finally, knowledge is imparted in the area of upstream and downstream processing. This includes, for example, the production of cellulases in Trichoderma reesei.
