Description

Engineering analysis is extremely valuable for understanding complex systems such as those encountered in biology. The development of many biotechnology innovations requires engineering input to develop processes to generate products and improve productivity. Biological molecules, structures, cells and populations also provide key templates for designing and synthesising new biomaterials, organisms and products, providing opportunities for engineered biomimicry. This course covers a number of key disciplines of biological engineering, including bioprocess development and optimisation, metabolic flux analysis and subsequent metabolic engineering, biocatalysis, biomaterials, tissue engineering and nanobiotechnology.
