Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completing the course students will be able to:
1. build kinetic simulation models of the cell growth and product formation
2. connect different models together to build a bioprocess model
3. define parameters for kinetic and static bioprocess models
4. create experimental designs for bioprocess screening and optimization tests
5. create response surface models and define optimum variable values thereof
6. create multivariate models from various data sources including e.g. raw materials, cultivation conditions, product properties, expression data
7. utilize certain chemometric modelling approaches for bioprocess estimation and simulation simulations
8. arrange simple experiments to find out certain kinetic and optimization parameters of a bioprocess
9. estimate the model validity in various cases
