TECHNIQUES IN BIOTECHNOLOGY

ABT 700

Principles and techniques pertaining to biotechnology and its applications to our society. Survey of classical and emerging techniques.

ABT 735

Focuses on the importance of quality control and validation in biotechnology product design, development, and manufacturing. Explores quality systems and documentation, global quality standards, and methods for assessing validation including installation, operational, and performance qualifications. Overviews biomanufacturing processes, automation, and ccGMP practices necessary to meet quality standards.

ABT 770

Explores strategies in evaluating and implementing new technologies or products in the context of different bioindustries. Identifies considerations in product valuation, feasibility of production, scalability, and supply chain management. Models the process of business growth and innovation through integration of emerging technologies.

ABT 765

A survey of biotechnology assessments in areas such as regenerative medicine, agricultural biotechnology, and bioremediation. Course links disciplines with the critical evaluative role played by scientific discovery, market valuation, intellectual property, freedom-to-operate (FTO), and licensing strategy by assessing the role each played in the commercialization of a specific technology.

BIOMDSCI 803

Assess various biotechnology techniques to determine effective and efficient methods used in biotechnology product development. Utilize analytical and communication skills when critiquing biotechnology applications that simulate both corporate and academic biotechnology settings.
