Unit I: 
Introduction of bioprocess engineering
  • Bioreactors:  Conventional and Specialized bioreactors (pulsed, fluidized, photo bioreactors), Types of fermentation processes: batch, fed batch and continuous cultures kinetics. Process control parameters (pH, temperature, oxygen, foam) Elemental balance equations; metabolic coupling – ATP and NAD+; yield coefficients; unstructured models of microbial growth; structured models of microbial growth

 

15.00
Unit II: 
Isolation and screening strategies of industrially important cultures
  • Media formulation and sterilization, Isolation of cultures, screening for activities, inoculum preparation. Culture preservation, maintenance, Strain improvement, Techniques of Enzyme immobilization.

 

 

13.00
Unit III: 
Downstream processing
  • Introduction, Removal of microbial cells and solid matter, foam separation, cell disruption, precipitation, filtration, centrifugation, liquid-liquid extraction, chromatography, membrane process, Drying and crystallization
15.00
Unit IV: 
Introduction to IPR
  • Introduction to intellectual property; types of IP: patents, trademarks, copyright & related rights, industrial design, traditional knowledge, geographical indications, protection of new GMOs; International framework for the protection of IP; IP as a factor in R&D; IPs of relevance to biotechnology and few case studies; introduction to history of GATT, WTO, WIPO and TRIPS; plant variety protection and farmers rights act; concept of ‘prior art’: invention in context of “prior art”; patent databases - country-wise patent searches (USPTO, EPO, India); analysis and report formation.

 

15.00
Unit V: 
Patenting
  • Basics of patents: types of patents; Indian Patent Act 1970; recent amendments; WIPO Treaties; Budapest Treaty; Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and implications; procedure for filing a PCT application; role of a Country Patent Office; filing of a patent application; precautions before patenting-disclosure/non-disclosure - patent application- forms and guidelines including those of National Bio-diversity Authority (NBA) and other regulatory bodies, fee structure, time frames; types of patent applications: provisional and complete specifications; PCT and conventional patent applications; international patenting-requirement, procedures and costs; financial assistance for patenting; introduction to existing schemes; publication of patents-gazette of India, status in Europe and US; patent infringement- meaning, scope, litigation, case studies and examples; commercialization of patented innovations; licensing – outright sale, licensing, royalty; patenting by research students and scientists-university/organizational rules in India and abroad, collaborative research - backward and forward IP; benefit/credit sharing among parties/community, commercial (financial) and non-commercial incentives.
