626-0007-00LMicrobial Biotechnology6 credits3GS. Panke
AbstractIntroduction into the field of microbial biotechnology, covering possible products, fermentation and downstream technology.
ObjectiveThe student should be able to identify opportunities for microbial bioprocesses and to go through basic and advanced design procedures for microbial bioprocesses.
ContentStudents will obtain a thorough overview over microbial biotech products and the elements of bioprocess design: cellular growth and its modelling; mass transfer in fermentation; bioreaction engineering; bioreactors; downstream processing

636-0001-00LSeparations in Biotechnology and Bioprocess Economy6 credits3GS. Panke
AbstractSeparations 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.
ObjectiveStudents should be able to select for a given biotechnological product a suitable set of purification operations and judge on process economy.
ContentIntroduction – membrane operations – adsorption and chromatography – crystallization – overall process economics –

636-0507-00LSynthetic Biology II Restricted registration - show details 4 credits4AS. Panke, Y. Benenson, J. Stelling
Abstract7 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).
ObjectiveThe 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.
ContentPresentations 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 notesHandouts during course
Prerequisites / NoticeThe 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.
