Biochemical Engineering (MW0020)
The scientific fundamentals of biochemical reactions (physics, chemistry, biochemistry, thermodynamics) are summarized for engineers . Moreover, lectures on the fundamentals of biochemical production technologies using enzymes and cells will be given (bioreaction engineering, downstream-processing, sterilisation and bioanalytics).
