The development of Bioprocess Engineering
Definitions of Biotechnology: the application of integrated sciences and engineering in the utilization of living organisms (plants, animals, microorganisms) and/or its parts to produce goods and/or services for the welfare of mankind. Biotechnology is a discipline and/or multidisciplinary activity and cross-sectoral, covering the fields of health, agriculture in general, chemicals industries, environmental, energy and others.
The rapid growth in critical life science industries is astounding, but is heavily driven by professionals who possess a high degree of knowledge and skills in life sciences, mathematics, engineering, and business. Commonly known as bioprocess engineers, these individuals serve as the backbone of multiple life sciences industries by aiding in the creation of biomanufacturing platforms, product research and development strategies, process evaluation, and more.
Bioprocess engineering leans heavily on individuals who are capable of translating the complexity of both biomedical research and engineering into actionable processes that lead to the creation of new products.
A bioprocess is any process that uses living cells to create a product, while engineering is the science of designing and building complex machines or processes. To that end, bioprocess engineering is the planning, construction, execution, and revision of the biological and
mechanical processes required to create new products within the life sciences.
Engineering of this type can be expansive, given the complex nature of the intersecting scientific fields. Bioprocess engineers require advanced knowledge in and understanding of systems engineering, chemistry, biology, and government regulations. These facets combine to help bioprocess engineers do everything from discovering new drugs based on chemical combinations and deconstruction to creating the multi-step process involved in manufacturing a new drug or other biological product.
What does a bioprocess engineer do?
Employers may list a variety of duties for bioprocess engineers. Developing and revising manufacturing processes is a common requirement for the role. Bioprocess engineers are often tasked with utilizing their knowledge and skills in math, chemistry, biology, and engineering.
Other common bioprocess engineering duties may include:
Research into the production of new products
Experimentation
Process troubleshooting and maintenance
Process evaluation
Data analysis
Report writing
Laboratory equipment purchasing and management
Evaluation of regulatory submissions
Which industries use or need bioprocess engineering?
Bioprocess engineering and its practitioners are essential in every industry that relies on biological products. While pharmaceutical companies commonly hire bioprocess engineers to help create and organize manufacturing processes for new drugs and treatments, they are not the only type of employer that may hire bioprocess engineers.
Available jobs for bioprocess engineers also exist in the agricultural, chemical, energy, and waste management sectors, among many others. Given that the medical industries hire the majority of bioprocess engineers, you may also see the job title listed under other names, including biomedical engineering and biochemical engineering.
