BioDownstream Technologies Course

» Enhancing both theoretical and practical knowledge of current downstream processing technologies for biomolecules and looking in their future «

When and where: 22^st – 27^th of August, 2011, Ljubljana

Who should attend:

People from industry engaged in downstream processing, graduate students and postdocs who want to increase their theoretical and practical knowledge of modern downstream processing

Participants will receive:

• Extensive overview of the current state of the art in downstream processing of biomacromolecules
• Theoretical aspects of commonly applied techniques including chromatography,precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction, ultrafiltration, and crystallization. Special topic will be scale-up of each technique
• Features of specific groups of biomacromolecules including antibodies,plasmid DNA, and viruses
• Modern in-process analytics
• Downstream process design based on collected results
• Confronting opinions of participants, experts from industry and academia as well as equipment manufacturers

Course program:

1. day: Introduction to the course concept, lectures about downstream processing state-of-the-art, current challenges
             and theory of unit operations
       
2. day: Lectures about specificity of each molecule type (viruses, plasmids, proteins); hands-on work

3. day: Lecture about process analytical technology (PAT) and in-process control (IPC), hands-on work

4. day: Hands-on work, analysis of the results and report preparation

5. day: Results presentation, workshop on design of an optimal purification process for each type of molecules
             based on experimental data; lecture about further development of downstream processing, conclusion of the
             workshop



All participants should cover their travel expenses and accomodation in Ljubljana for the period of the Course.
The participants are asked to reserve the rooms by themselves after they have been confirmed for the course by the organizers.
When reserving the room for the BTC2011 Course, please specify the appropriate Reference.
More information about the hotels, reservations and cancellation policies can be found on the links.

The participants are also requested to provide a suitable insurance in their states to cover eventual misshappenings during the practical work in the lab.
