The Center for Professional Advancement, New Brunswick, NJ
September 24-25, 2007
Who Should Attend:
This is an introductory-level course for those interested in learning more about the molecular dynamics of living systems. It is intended for research, supervisory, scale-up or manufacture, and other technical operations personnel with some scientific background who are and those involved in, or contemplating participation in:Biotechnology
Biomedical Engineering
Microbiology
Toxicology
Molecular Biology The course is useful as a precursor for its companion course, Fundamentals of Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering; since it serves as both a refresher course for participants with some technical background, as well as an efficient way to gain an understanding of the foundations upon which biotechnology has been built.
Description:
Biochemistry pertains to the study of living systems at the molecular level and provides a background appropriate for further work in the growing technologies of biochemical engineering, biotechnology, microbiology, toxicology and molecular biology. This course will focus on selected aspects of biochemistry that provide the non-specialist with the principles for understanding the structure and function relationships of biomolecules including DNA, proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, and monoclonal antibodies. Metabolic pathways, their regulation and control, the biocatalytic process, and laboratory and bioprocess separation techniques will be highlighted. Protein purification techniques will be utilized in a “hands-on” fashion using a computer program which simulates a test case of purification.
