Pharmaceutical & Biochemical Production

This subject aims to provide an advanced understanding of pharmaceutical and biochemical production processes; students will learn about processes in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

• 1Describe typical production processes for common pharmaceuticals
• 2Discuss the role of chemical engineering in pharmaceutical development, the regulatory standards that apply to such products and the business drivers for product development
• 3Apply systems approaches to describe how changes to a cell can be used to make new biochemical products
• 4Describe the processes in research, development and practice that may increase the sustainability of biochemical and other production processes
• 5Describe a range of biochemical products and develop create strategies to produce and purify these products
• 6Discuss the synergies between biochemistry and chemical engineering .
