Bioreactors and Protein Production in Bioprocessing

Bioprocessing uses living organisms to make a desired target product. In many cases, that product is a protein made in a bioreactor, which is a controlled vessel for growing cells.

This process often relies on genetically engineered organisms. Engineers design the system so the cells can produce ...

Bioprocess engineering is a field that uses many engineering disciplines to produce a specific product from living organisms. Typically, the organisms are genetically modified cells that are engineered to produce a specific product protein or chemical. The cells are then grown on the large scale in order to produce the product which is later pur...
