Chemical engineering research bioprocessing

Three major intellectual frontiers for chemical engineers in bioprocessing are the design of bioreactors for the culture of plant and animal cells, the development of control systems along with the needed biosensors and analytical instraments, and the development of processes for separating and purifying products. A critical component in each of these three research areas is the need to relate the micro-scale to the mesoscale.

A career in industrial fermentation presents a variety of work options such as research, process development, production, technical services, or quality control. Some industrial fermentation specialists may be considered as genetic engineers (using DNA techniques to modify living organisms), while others are classified as bioprocess or chemical engineers (optimizing bioreactors and biochemical pathways for a desired product). 

Research and development in industry and in academia have enhanced and will enhance bioprocesses working at the interface of chemical process engineering and biotechnology. For...
