The course emphasizes the use of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) in these analyses. Students will gain experience in techniques used to analyze nucleic acids and in the genetic engineering of cells. They will also gain experience with the common assays used in Quality Control including electrophoresis, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Enzyme Linked Immunosorbant Assay (ELISA), and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to test products generated using cell culture. BIOT 065 1.0 Unit Biomanufacturing Fundamentals Explore the basic biological, chemical, engineering, and regulatory concepts utilized to manufacture products using genetically engineered cells. This course covers host strain selection, cell banking and seed train, bioreactor operation and monitoring, recovery and purification techniques, and the regulatory environment required for biomanufacturing of products at a large scale.
