Master in Biochemical Engineer

This field of study emphasises the application of chemical engineering fundamentals on living systems and biological materials such as microbes, cells, enzymes, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, oils and fats. It involves the designing and development of biological processes and unit operations starting from raw materials preparation until product purification. It also covers bioreaction, fermentation, biopolymer, biogas, composting, bioseparation, plant and animal cell culture, and biotransformation. Applications are seen in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, biomaterial, agricultural, environmental, biological wastewater treatment, bioremediation and bioenergy industries.
