Description

This course introduces important fundamental principles of biotechnology including fermentation and biocatalysis, protein synthesis and engineering and recombinant DNA technology. The applications of these principles are then explored in a series of lectures focusing on environmental biotechnology, drug recovery and production, plant biotechnology, bioresources and the economics of bioprocesses. The course is designed to provide an understanding of the principles and applications of biotechnology both in its own and as alternatives to chemical synthesis.

Note: Restricted to programs 3055, 3100 and 3040.
