This document outlines a two-week summer course on bioprocess engineering and biofactories held in July 2010 in Malaysia. The course objectives are to provide a broad overview of the science and technology of bioprocess research and industries. The course will cover topics such as bioprocess design, operation, scaling up, facility design requirements and regulations. The schedule includes lectures and practical sessions the first week on bioprocess topics and the second week on facility design. Practical sessions involve inoculum preparation, shake flask culture, bioreactor set-up, calibration, operation, and fed-batch cultivation design for recombinant protein production.
