Korshub's take
The transition from fossil fuels to a bio-based, circular economy runs through fermentation. This intermediate course teaches you how to take biotech innovations from lab proof-of-concept all the way to factory scale.
You'll grasp the bioprocess—fermentation at its core, with upstream and downstream operations supporting it—then dive into fermentation itself: what happens, how to control it, and why scaling up isn't just a matter of making the tank bigger. The course evaluates competing approaches and walks through realistic simulation of economy and sustainability. Perfect for anyone bridging research and industrial biotechnology.
About this course
Understand what is needed to move from a fossil to a bio-based, circular economy, and learn how to influence critical elements in the transition. ,Apply, with insight, design thinking and its importance into bringing biotech innovations to industrial factories for commercialization. ,Grasp the essence of a bioprocess, with fermentation at its core where microorganisms perform efficient conversions, and flanking upstream and downstream operations to make up a full value chain. ,Form a deeper understanding of the fermentation process, review competing biological and physical processes alongside each other, and appreciate the specific requirements to successfully scale-up from the lab to the factory. ,Identify detailed simulation and evaluation of an integrated bioprocess in terms of economy and sustainability.
