CHEM ENG 7066 - Advanced Technologies in Biopharmaceutical Processing

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2023

Biopharmaceutical engineering is one the most promising areas of development from both the scientific and technology viewpoints. This is because this discipline develops at the intersection of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. It is expected that biopharmaceutical products play a major role in facilitating therapeutic strategies for the treatment of some of the most important diseases and conditions of the 21st century such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and various types of cancer. Moreover, thanks to developments in this area, novel diagnostic and medical devices are available to the general public. Some of the emerging research areas within this field include the discovery and production of novel pharmacological molecules, more effective gene therapies, pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine. This course explores the routes for the implementation of some of these developments going from the lab to the full clinical translation. The general objective of this course is therefore to provide a conceptual and fundamental framework to comprehensively understand each component of a biopharmaceutical development such that students can consider new value propositions to address the upcoming healthcare and industry challenges.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
