Core modules
- Bioprocessing Project (CH6013) is summer project focused on a selected bioprocessing topic. Students complete either lab-based or computer-based design work involving operations such as filtration, centrifugation, chromatography, or similar. The aim is to apply technical knowledge to a real or simulated bioprocessing challenge.
Books and journal articles needed for the course will be available online through the UL Glucksman Library.
