Annual Bioprocess Simulation prize

Biopharm Service's Annual Bioprocess Simulation prize was awarded in November 2011 to a team of undergraduate students at UCL's Department of Biochemical Engineering for their work on "Application of BioSolve computer simulation tool for investigating the process economics of antibody production". The BioSolve modelling tool was used to evaluate the economics of a process to produce an IgG antibody for treating arthritis and to understand impact of scale-up to and for process optimisation. This demonstrates the value of BioSolve to help students within the teaching programmes at UCL to understand the impact of process and technology choices.
