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. design simple experiments to find out certain kinetic and optimization parameters of a bioprocess
9. estimate the model validity in various cases
