636-0001-00L | Separations in Biotechnology and Bioprocess Economy | 6 credits | 3G | S. Panke | |
Abstract | Separations play an integral part of any biotechnological process. This course aims at enabling students specifically with a chemistry/biology background to select & roughly design suitable separation processes for typical biotechnological products such as monoclonal antibodies, antibiotics, and fine chemicals and at providing a basic set of purification operations & judge on process economy. | ||||
Objective | Students should be able to select for a given biotechnological product a suitable set of purification operations and judge on process economy. | ||||
Content | Introduction – membrane operations – adsorption and chromatography – crystallization – overall process economics – | ||||
Lecture notes | Handouts during course | ||||
636-0301-00L | Current Topics in Biosystems Science and Engineering | 2 credits | 1S | S. Tay, N. Beerenwinkel, Y. Benenson, M. Fussenegger, A. Hierlemann, D. Iber, M. H. Khammash, D. J. Müller, S. Panke, P. Pantazis, R. Paro, S. Reddy, T. Schroeder, T. Stadler, J. Stelling | |
Abstract | This seminar will feature invited lectures about recent advances and developments in systems biology, including topics from biology, bioengineering, and computational biology. | ||||
Objective | To provide an overview of current systems biology research. | ||||
Content | The final list of topics will be available at http://www.bsse.ethz.ch/education/. | ||||
636-0507-00L | Synthetic Biology II | 4 credits | 4A | S. Panke, Y. Benenson, J. Stelling | |
Abstract | 7 months biological design project, during which the students are required to give presentations on advanced topics in synthetic biology (specifically genetic circuit design) and then select their own biological system to design. The system is subsequently modeled, analyzed, and experimentally implemented. Results are presented at an international student competition at the MIT (Cambridge). | ||||
Objective | The students are supposed to acquire a deep understanding of the process of biological design including model representation of a biological system, its thorough analysis, and the subsequent experimental implementation of the system and the related problems. | ||||
Content | Presentations on advanced synthetic biology topics (eg genetic circuit design, adaptation of systems dynamics, analytical concepts, large scale de novo DNA synthesis), project selection, modeling of selected biological system, design space exploration, sensitivity analysis, conversion into DNA sequence, (DNA synthesis external,) implementation and analysis of design, summary of results in form of scientific presentation and poster, presentation of results at the iGEM international student competition (www.igem.org). | ||||
Lecture notes | Handouts during course | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | The final presentation of the project is typically at the MIT (Cambridge, US). Other competing schools include regularly Imperial College, Cambridge University, Harvard University, UC Berkeley, Princeton Universtiy, CalTech, etc. This project takes place between end of Spring Semester and beginning of Autumn Semester. Registration in April. Please note that the number of ECTS credits and the actual work load are disconnected. |
