CHME 7602 — Pharmaceutical Engineering Laboratory
2 semester hoursGraduateLabusually offered: springtypical days: TBostonTraditional
Offers students an opportunity to apply and reinforce the theory they have learned in their pharmaceutical engineering coursework in a hands-on laboratory setting by producing and purifying a recombinant protein from cell culture. In a series of lab modules, teams of students set up, operate, and analyze bioreactors for bacterial and mammalian cell culture, as well as harvest and lyse cells, and finally purify and analyze protein using state-of-the-art filtration and chromatography processes. Requires submission of interim laboratory reports, documentation of experimental work, and a final report and presentation with a detailed proposal for how to improve upon the results obtained.
