1st Edition

Biological drug and vaccine
manufacturing has quickly become one of the highest-value fields of
bioprocess engineering, and many bioprocess engineers are now finding
job opportunities that have traditionally gone to chemical engineers. Fundamentals of Modern Bioprocessing addresses this growing demand.
Written
by experts well-established in the field, this book connects the
principles and applications of bioprocessing engineering to healthcare
product manufacturing and expands on areas of opportunity for qualified
bioprocess engineers and students. The book is divided into two
sections: the first half centers on the engineering fundamentals of
bioprocessing; while the second half serves as a handbook offering
advice and practical applications.
Focused on the fundamental
principles at the core of this discipline, this work outlines every
facet of design, component selection, and regulatory concerns. It
discusses the purpose of bioprocessing (to produce products suitable for
human use), describes the manufacturing technologies related to
bioprocessing, and explores the rapid expansion of bioprocess
engineering applications relevant to health care product manufacturing.
It also considers the future of bioprocessing―the use of disposable
components (which is the fastest growing area in the field of
bioprocessing) to replace traditional stainless steel.
In addition, this text:
- Discusses the many types of genetically modified organisms
- Outlines laboratory techniques
- Includes the most recent developments
- Serves as a reference and contains an extensive bibliography
- Emphasizes
biological manufacturing using recombinant processing, which begins
with creating a genetically modified organism using recombinant
techniques
Fundamentals of Modern Bioprocessing
outlines both the principles and applications of bioprocessing
engineering related to healthcare product manufacturing. It lays out the
basic concepts, definitions, methods and applications of bioprocessing.
A single volume comprehensive reference developed to meet the needs of
students with a bioprocessing background; it can also be used as a
source for professionals in the field.
