Last week Planet B.io hosted the Advanced Course on Bioprocess Design (4 – 8 Oct. 2021) on the Biotech Campus Delft, organized by BioTech Delft. During this course 27 participants – 16 on site and 11 online – from both industry and universities participated. The course aimed to familiarize participants with the design of innovative […]
Every year the foundation of BioTech Delft sponsors the winner of the MOOC IB01x. The winner of 2017 choose the Advanced Course Microbial Physiology and Fermentation Technology. In January 2019 he joined us during the course. You can find a short interview about his experiences below. Published on 22 February 2019. Questions? Email us […]
From 23-27 February 2015, our first course abroad took place: the Advanced Course Metabolomics for Microbial Systems Biology was held at Unicamp, Campinas, Brazil. BSDL and BE-Basic organized this course together with our partner universities Delft University of Technology, Universidade de São Paulo and Universidade de Campinas. The cooperation resulted in a team of four teachers from […]
Dr. Lesley Robertson recently started a blog, where she writes on all the curious things she and her team of volunteers encouter while digitising and cataloguing the collection of the Beijerinck museum, a small museum dedicated to the history of microbiology and biotechnology. Former participants of our Advanced Course on Microbial Physiology and Fermentation Technology will surely […]
Jeff Lievense, teacher in our Advanced Course Bioprocess Design, shared his thoughts on advancing industrial biotech in Biofuels Digest. Jeff is Executive Vice President Process Technology at Genomatica, a San Diego based company active in sustainable chemicals from renewable feedstocks. He and his team “translate biology into 100 kiloton fermentation-based chemical plants that perform”. Please find the link […]
Great TED talk by Gerben Stouten on waste to resources. He explains how you can produce bioplastics from (candy factory) wastewater. Gerben is a scientist in the group of prof. Mark van Loosdrecht, and teacher in our Advanced Course Bioprocess Design.
Yesterday the free, open, online biotechnology MOOC entitled “Technology for biobased products” that was developed by the Department of Biotechnology of Delft University of Technology (home of BSDL) started. This course teaches you the basics of process design for biobased products: from feedstock to biomaterials, chemicals and biofuels. You can register for free at the edx website. […]
