What does this program cover?
The Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering program combines engineering sciences with the natural sciences. This program deals, for example, with the structure of microorganisms with which biotechnological products can be produced. On the other hand, the technical properties of an industrial plant in which several cubic meters of product are to be fermented every day are the subject of this course. Pharmaceutical bioprocess technology operates in a complex environment with numerous different requirements:
- safe methods of genetic engineering
- precise analytical methods for monitoring the process and the product
- individual adaptation of the fermentation and purification process to the organisms and products used
- careful conception of the production plants
- consistent application of quality management methods in the pharmaceutical industry
- formulation of a biotechnological active substance into a medicinal product
