Stirred-tank Bioreactor
Dates: August 3-7, 2026
The University of Houston Department of Engineering Technology — Biotechnology program is offering an intensive 5-day, in-person, hands-on course on the biomanufacture of protein products using stirred-tank bioreactors and downstream purification, skills which are highly sought-after by the fast-growing number of biomanufacturing companies in Greater Houston and the US. In this course, participants will learn about the design and operation of stirred-tank bioreactors and chromatography equipment similar to those used in the production and purification of therapeutic proteins, vaccines, and many industrial enzymes. Recent trends in bioreactor technology, upstream bioprocess, process controls, chromatographic purification, and quality testing will be presented.
What industry leaders say about the biomanufacturing certificate:
- A UH biomanufacturing certificate would make an associate or bachelor in science graduate a more attractive job candidate.
- A certificate such as this would indicate a number of things to me as a potential employer:
- Candidate is interested in the field and is actively seeking skills that will be applicable in the field.
- Candidate will require less training or shorter training coming into the organization.
- Candidate can provide feedback on the company training they received as to its impact.
