Engineers working in the process industries are making increased use of biological systems for production and environmental management. To set up and optimise these processes, chemical engineers need to understand the fundamentals of biological processes and their applications. This course is designed to teach chemical engineers key aspects associated with biochemical processes, fundamental biology (such as the basic structure and function of cells, enzyme structure and function, and basic molecular biology), and important principles of cell, genetic, and protein engineering.
