PhB
Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing:   Offered by the Otto H. York Department of Chemical, Biological and Pharmaceutical Engineering

 
GRADUATE COURSES:

PhB 505 - Principles of Pharm. Microbiology and Biochemistry (3 credits)
Prerequisites: Graduate standing. This course covers major concepts of cell biology including cell physiology and structure, molecular biology, and genetics. Cellular chemistry, life cycles, and regulation are discussed as well as the fundamentals of biochemistry related to physical organic chemistry, including buffers, blood proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, fats, and nucleic acids. This is a required course for PhB students with no or limited knowledge of biology. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 590 - Graduate Co-op Work Experience I (3 additive credits)
Prerequisites: Permissions from Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing Graduate Advisor and Career Development Services. Cooperative education internship provides on-the-job reinforcement of the academic program by placement in major-related work situations at pharmaceutical companies or companies serving the pharmaceutical industry. Work assignment developed or approved by the co-op office and evaluated by the department. Cannot be used for degree credit. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 591 - Graduate Co-op Work Experience II (3 additive credits)
Prerequisites: Permissions from Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing Graduate Advisor and Career Development Services. Same range of activities as in PhB 590. Cannot be used for degree credit. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 592 - Graduate Co-op Work Experience III (3 additive credits)
Prerequisites: Permissions from Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing Graduate Advisor and Career Development Services. Same range of activities as in PhB 590 and PhB 591. Cannot be used for degree credit. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 593 - Graduate Co-op Work Experience IV (0 credits)
Prerequisites: Permissions from Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing Graduate Advisor and Career Development Services. Same range of activities as in PhB 590, PhB 591 and PhB 592. Cannot be used for degree credit. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 610 - Biotechnology-Biopharmaceutical, Processes and Products (3 credits)
Prerequisites: PhB 505, if required and PhEn 601. This course covers biological processes used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry to obtain pharmaceutical products, including biochemical processes for antibiotic production and peptide extraction, and biopharmaceutical process to obtain recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, hormone and blood products, therapeutic enzymes, antibodies, vaccines, and nucleic acid therapeutics. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 615 - Bioseparation Processes (3 credits)
Prerequisites: If required, PhEn 500, PhEn 501, PhEn 502 and PhB 505; PhEn 601. This course covers the principles, methods and unit operations for the separation and recovery of biologically obtained molecules and especially proteins. Also studied here is the relationship between the chemistry of biological molecules and efficient separation and preservation of biological activity, with special emphasis on separation of biomolecules. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 630 - Pharmaceutical Bioprocess Engineering (3 credits)
Prerequisites: If required, PhEn 500, PhEn 501, PhEn 502 and PhB 505; Phen 601. This course covers the principles and methods to develop and operate bioprocess engineering systems, with emphasis on pharmaceutical bioprocessing and the use of chemical engineering principles to obtain products of therapeutic values. Topics include cell line selection, cell growth kinetics, substrate utilization, product formation, transport phenomena in biosystems, and bioreactors. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 698 - Special Topics in Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing I (3 credits)
Prerequisites: Graduate standing and permission of the instructor. Topics of current interest in Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 699 - Special Topics in Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing II (3 credits)
Prerequisites: Graduate standing and permission of the instructor. Topics of current interest in Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 701B - Master's Thesis (3 credits)
Prerequisites: Matriculation in the MS program in PhB and approval of PhB Program Advisor. Original research under the guidance of a Thesis Advisor. A written thesis must be approved by a three-member Thesis Committee including the primary advisor and at least one member of the CBPE faculty. A student must continue to register for at least 3 credits per semester until at least 6 credits have been completed and a written thesis is approved. Only a total of 6 credits will count toward the degree. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 701C - Master's Thesis (6 credits)
Prerequisites: Matriculation in the MS program in PhB and approval of PhB Program Advisor. Original research under the guidance of a Thesis Advisor. A written thesis must be approved by a three-member Thesis Committee including the primary advisor and at least one member of the CBPE faculty. A student must continue to register for at least 3 credits per semester until at least 6 credits have been completed and a written thesis is approved. Only a total of 6 credits will count toward the degree. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 725 - Independent Study I (3 credits)
Prerequisites: Permission from the Program Advisor in PhB (not the Thesis Advisor), as well as completion of courses prescribed by a supervising faculty member (who cannot be the student's Thesis Advisor). This special course covers areas of study in which one or more students may be interested, but which is not of sufficiently broad interest to warrant a regular course offering. Students may not register for this course more than once with the same supervising faculty member. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 726 - Independent Study II (3 credits)
Prerequisites: Permission from the Program Advisor in PhB (not the Thesis Advisor), as well as completion of courses prescribed by a supervising faculty member (who cannot be the student's Thesis Advisor). This special course covers areas of study in which one or more students may be interested, but which is not of sufficiently broad interest to warrant a regular course offering. Students may not register for this course more than once with the same supervising faculty member. Effective From: Spring 2010

PhB 791 - Graduate Seminar (Non-Credit)
Prerequisites: Graduate standing. Required, when offered, of all PhB graduate students receiving departmental or research-based awards. The student must register each semester until completion of the degree, if the Graduate Seminar is offered. Outside speakers and department members present their research for general discussion. Effective From: Spring 2010
