Brief description
Bioprocess R&D faces increasing pressure: long development cycles, scale-up uncertainties, high costs, and growing data complexity. Digital modelling technologies now offer a decisive competitive advantage by enabling faster, smarter and more reliable industrial biotechnology development.
iMEAN’s advanced modelling platform leverages genome-scale metabolic models, regulatory networks, enzyme kinetics, cellular burden modelling and AI-based predictors to achieve near-90% predictive accuracy for fermentation and biocatalysis performance. These “digital organisms” unlock:
- Accurate prediction of microorganism behaviour under industrial conditions
- Full exploitation of OMICS & enzyme biodiversity data
- Targeted experimental design focusing on the highest-value options
- Faster, more robust bioprocess design, optimization & scale-up
- Enhanced decision-making for R&D investment strategies
This Master Class gives executives and scientists a foundational yet actionable introduction to these technologies through theoretical modules and hands-on simulations.
A unique 2-day training to accelerate digital transformation in industrial biotech. Delivered directly by modelling experts from iMEAN – the European leader in biological system simulation.
- Learning goals:
After the 2-day Master Class, participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles and limits of genome-scale metabolic modelling
- Gain awareness of various modelling layers: regulatory networks, enzymatic kinetics, AI predictors
- Perform basic simulations of industrial bioprocesses
- Integrate transcriptomics/metabolomics data into predictive models
- Identify metabolic bottlenecks using in-silico tools
- Understand where and how modelling creates value in the R&D roadmap
- Build an internal strategy for adopting modelling technologies
- Requirements: TDB
- Language: English
- Deliverables:
- Training materials (PDF)
- Temporary access to modelling tools
- Certificate of completion
- Networking sessions
