Industrial and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology is the application of biotechnology and engineering in the exploitation of living organisms (mostly cells) and their subcomponents for sustainable, large-scale production of industrial biochemicals, biomaterials and pharmaceutical products. Industrial and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology has the potential to address the environmental sustainability of industry through the development of innovative technological solutions using renewable biomass as feedstock, rather than fossil materials, thereby having a significant impact on the existing chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
This topic teaches students the biological and bioengineering principles that underpin the development of Industrial and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology processes and products. This topic trains the students in the development, scale-up, integration and commercialisation of bioprocesses, to be qualified as entry-level industrial biotechnologists, capable of performing best industry practice globally.
This topic aims to:
