BME 625 - Bioseparations

3 Credit(s)

This course is an exploration of the principles, approaches, and techniques relevant to the separation and downstream processing of biologically produced molecules. Protein purification, recovery of small biomolecules (amino acids and antibodies), and the isolation of primary metabolites will be covered. Particular attention will be paid to the physical chemistry of biological molecules in solution. This approach will result in the development of efficient separation techniques for biomolecules while maintaining biological activity.
