Course overview
The objective of the course will be to teach the advantages of continuous manufacturing over batch manufacturing within the pharmaceutical sector and how batch manufacturing unit operations can be transferred into continuous operations. Chromatography as a main unit operation will be covered in detail. Mechanistic modelling as a tool for process modeling will be introduced and students will learn how to use commercial optimization software. By the end of the course, students will be able to plan and optimise continuous processes in biopharma and will be able to use mechanistic modelling software solutions.
