Webinar Series: Modeling and Simulation in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering

First Webinar: Mechanistic and Hybrid Modeling in Downstream Processing

We are excited to announce the launch of our webinar series on “Modeling and Simulation in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering,” aimed at fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration across academia, industry, and the public. This series will delve into cutting-edge methodologies and applications that are transforming the field.

Overview & Topics

Webinar Overview
The inaugural session will focus on “Mechanistic and Hybrid Modeling in Downstream Processing,” a critical area in biotechnology that enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of bioprocesses. Models have been used successfully both in industry and academia to describe downstream process unit operations. Chromatography, in particular, can be described very well using mechanistic models. However, some effects, such as biological fouling in membrane separation, often require statistical models based on extensive empirical data to be predicted sufficiently. This webinar will provide insights into the latest advancements and practical applications of these modeling techniques, which are essential for optimizing production processes, reducing costs, and ensuring product quality.

Topics
Our first speaker, Dr. Maximilian Krippl from the highly successful startup Novasign GmbH has been at the forefront of innovation in bioprocessing. Novasign GmbH has developed a streamlined hybrid modeling toolbox that combines all the benefits of mechanistic and statistical models into hybrid models. Their workflow allows for the efficient generation of the empirical data required. With extensive experience in applying these models to real-world challenges, Dr. Krippl will share valuable case studies and practical insights on how these models can drive process improvements and innovation in the industry.

Joining us from our esteemed partner BOKU University, Dr. Jürgen Beck is a leading academic researcher specializing in biochemical engineering. Here, cutting-edge applications of mechanistic chromatography models will be presented, including an overview of the open-source modeling platform CADET. He will highlight the latest research findings and theoretical advancements in mechanistic and hybrid modeling, showcasing their potential to revolutionize downstream processing. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the scientific principles underpinning these models and their practical implications.

We look forward to your participation in this groundbreaking webinar series!
