Training

The course is aimed at early career professionals and anyone who wants to develop an understanding of upstream biomanufacturing techniques and processes. This 3-day course consists of six lectures, enhanced with practical demonstrations using bench-scale, pilot-scale, and single-use bioreactors. In particular, attendees will gain hands-on fermentation experience using a 30L-scale, stainless steel, stirred tank bioreactor.

This course is aimed at anyone who wants to develop an understanding of theory and techniques in protein purification using fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) on an ÄKTA chromatography system.

This course, delivered in partnership with Cytiva, will examine process technologies and their operation for end-to-end ATMP production.

This 4-day intensive training course is designed for professionals and researchers looking to advance their expertise in large-scale upstream bioprocessing, with a focus on scale-up to 300 L pilot-scale operations. Participants will explore the principles and practical steps involved in scaling microbial cell culture to production-relevant volumes, supported by expert-led lectures, live demonstrations, and hands-on training.

In this advanced course, trainees develop greater understanding of downstream processing techniques with a particular focus on emerging trends and disruptive technologies. Course content is tailored toward purification strategies for recombinant proteins and AAVs. Learning achieved by lectures, classroom activities and laboratory demonstrations.

This hands-on course teaches laboratory scientists and engineers how to handle and maintain mammalian cells applying appropriate aseptic techniques as well as how to evaluate cell quality using a range of analytical assays.

This 5-day comprehensive training course offers an end-to-end exploration of the biomanufacturing process, integrating both upstream and downstream operations into a unified, hands-on learning experience. Participants will begin by cultivating a recombinant protein using a microbial expression system in a 30 L stainless steel stirred-tank bioreactor, gaining direct experience in bioreactor setup, sterilisation, inoculation, monitoring, and harvest procedures.

In this introductory course, trainees develop the hands-on skills required to perform within an upstream bioprocessing development role. Course content is tailored toward mammalian cell culture of CHO and HEK cells. Learning achieved lectures, classroom activities and lab based practicals.
