Requirements

The course includes weekly meetings in which students will present their results and give short talks on given topics. No exam or reports are included.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Objectives

Modern biotechnology research utilizes genetic engineering to enhance process functioning for higher yields and improved down-stream processing. To master these needs the student has to learn the rationale how to solve some of the key points from upstream to down-stream.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. The course is a hands-on laboratory exercise on basic methodologies in recombinant-DNA technologies and related fermentation technologies. The work consists of cloning of genes into E. coli expression vectors and verification of correct constructs. The resulting E. coli strains are inoculated into a fermentor and the growing kinetics and factors affecting the growth are studied. Finally, the expressed protein will be purified. Education in the methodologies related to protein analytical chemistry is provided throughout the course.
