Running a 5-Litre Lysine Fermentation From Scratch. Everything Nobody Tells You

Corynebacterium glutamicum under a scanning electron microscope. Urska Repnik, CAU Kiel, CC BY 4.0 If you've ever read a paper on lysine production with Corynebacterium glutamicum and thought "right, but what do I actually do on Monday morning when I'm standing in front of the bioreactor" — this post is for you. I'm going to walk through the entire process of setting up and running a 5L bench-scale fed-batch lysine fermentation. Not the textbook version. The real version. The one where […]

How I Built a Machine Learning Tool to Predict Drug Manufacturing Failures

A bioprocess engineer's journey into machine learning and why the pharmaceutical industry desperately needs this bridge When I tell people I work in bioprocess engineering, I usually get blank stares. When I explain that I help manufacture proteins in giant tanks for therapeutic use, the response is often: "Oh, like brewing beer?" Not quite. But close enough. What I don't usually mention is that I've been teaching myself machine learning on nights and weekends. Not because it's trendy, but […]

How I Built a Machine Learning Tool to Predict Drug Manufacturing Failures – Kemal's

Today was the day: I presented my bachelor’s thesis!
Just a few exams left – and then my studies are officially done!

Background: FORBIX is an FWF START Prize project that investigates how the acetogen Acetobacterium woodii can be engineered and optimized to convert sustainably produced formate into valuable chemicals such as alcohols and organic acids.
