Objectives

This course will allow engineering students to identify the stages of production of a recombinant protein as well as the different purification methods, their roles and interests in bioproduction processes. The production of recombinant proteins by genetic engineering methods is a common process in most areas of biotechnology. Using perfectly mastered methods, this process makes it possible to obtain specific proteins, in particular of therapeutic interest, with a very high yield.
