COURSE PROGRAM

SESSION 1: ANIMAL CELL CULTURES TECHNOLOGY 

Industrial suspended and adherent cells. Nutritional requirements and culture media.

Cell culture bioreactors from laboratory to industrial scale.

Cell culture production processes with upstream and downstream purification operations.

SESSION 2: CELL CULTURES UNDERSTANDING AND SIMULATION

Cell cultures kinetics: cellular growth and death, consumption of nutrients, production of metabolites, proteins, viruses

Biological and physical phenomena influencing cultures: cellular reaction, oxygen transfer, medium flow.

Knowledge driven simulation models of cell cultures.

SESSION 3: OPTIMAL OPERATION OF CELL CULTURE BIOREACTORS

Optimization of cell bioreactors operation mode and variables

Fed-batch cultures for operation under substrates limitations

Perfusion cultures with retained and attached cells for high cell densities
