Process Development of Bio-products from Mammalian Cell Culture

Friday 20th May 2011 (8.30 – 12.40 pm)
Department of Biotechnology Engineering
Kulliyyah of Engineering, IIUM

The seminar will be delivered by Professor Mohamed Al-Rubeai, Head of Bioprocess Engineering of UCD College of Engineering, Mathematical & Physical Sciences, University College Dublin, Ireland. Professor Al-Rubeai is a prominent researcher with industry collaborative experience in the field of mammalian cell culture. This workshop is suitable for those working in the biochemical-biotechnology and bioprocess engineering field, in particular mammalian cell culture.

Introduction

Process development of bio-products from mammalian cell culture is vital for maximizing process productivity and improving the robustness of process. Mammalian cell culture holds a high potential as a platform that can be utilized by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, as well as cell culture based reagent manufacturers in maintaining a competitive edge and meeting future trends in the production of bio-products.
