About the Seminars
These noncredit seminars are designed to provide scientific and technical training to scientists, engineers, and other professionals from all fields of the biotech and biopharmaceutical community. Seminars cover molecular theories for biotherapeutics, the engineering and applicable sciences behind bioprocess development, and the latest advancements in bioprocessing and bioanalytical technologies. Professors, with both industrial and academic experience, will cover every aspect of cell line generation, cell culture, fermentation, and protein purification, as well as protein analysis and characterization. Laboratory demonstrations conducted in our newly expanded Massachusetts Biomanufacturing Center will complement the lectures and offer real-world solutions.
