Through this course, the quality of our R&D work will further improve and timelines for commercialization of bioprocesses will be shortened - Stefan de Kok, Director Fermentation - Zymergen This resulted in increased understanding of microbial physiology and fermentation technology and how to scale up bioproduction processes. Over 25 employees of Zymergen participated in the online course 'Industrial Biotechnology' offered by TU Delft. solve undergraduate engineering level calculations in bioprocess engineering. develop and assess the conditions for efficient and sustainable design of bioprocesses 7. integrate scientific and technological knowledge on the use of bioprocesses for industrial products at the cell and process level 6. Verified learners will have the added benefit of being able to: 5. solve basic level calculations in bioprocess engineering. map the biobased economy, from research to application and from raw materials to products 4. describe the global context of biobased production 3. appreciate the need for sustainable innovation and how biotechnology and biobased production can contribute to this 2. What you'll learnĪfter this course all learners will be able to:ġ.

The course is a joint initiative of TU Delft, the international BE-Basic consortium and University of Campinas. This undergraduate course includes guest lectures from industry as well as from the University of Campinas in Brazil, with over 40 years of experience in bio-ethanol production. Throughout this course, you will be challenged to design your own biotechnological process and evaluate its performance and sustainability. Five experienced course leaders will teach you the basics of industrial biotechnology and how to apply these to the design of fermentation processes for the production of fuels, chemicals and foodstuffs. This course provides the insights and tools for the design of biotechnology processes in a sustainable way.

We can use the unique properties of microorganisms to convert organic waste streams into biomaterials, chemicals and biofuels. This transition is not a luxury, but rather a necessity.

As fossil-based fuels and raw materials contribute to climate change, the use of renewable materials and energy as an alternative is increasingly important and common.
