Abstract

We describe an intensive course that integrates graduate and continuing education focused on the development and scale-up of chromatography processes used for the recovery and purification of proteins with special emphasis on biotherapeutics. The course includes lectures, laboratories, teamwork, and a design exercise and offers a complete view of the development and scale-up of a biochromatography, from biomolecular properties, to initial laboratory testing, to final design.

Giorgio Carta, University of Virginia

Giorgio Carta received his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Delaware in 1984. Since then he has been a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville (USA), where his research focuses on transport phenomena and bioseparations. He regularly organizes professional courses on various aspects of bioseparations, including a course together with Alois Jungbauer on protein chromatography development and scale-up.
