Objectives
The aim of the course “Biotechnological production techniques” is to give an overview of some classical and modern biotechnological production techniques
Competences:
The course enables the student to understand and implement the acquired knowledge within the agro sector.
Topics
- THEORETICAL:
The course gives an overview of the basis concepts of the classical and modern biotechnological production technniques. Attention is being given to a number of application fields, each specified by a specific colour. The red biotechnology stands for the medically oriented applications in the pharmaceutical industry and medicine. The green biotechnology deals with the applications in agriculture and food science. The white or industrial biotechnology deals with industrial production processes of chemicals and bio energy. The colour white refers to a clean and sustainable technology.
- PRACTICALS:
The students will pay a visit to a number of biotechnological firms and research institutions. A case study followed by a presentation will be made of a specific problem or an application in biotechnology through a extensive literature search.
