BSCI 1220 Fundamentals of Biomanufacturing:  This course was modified to replicate upstream and downstream processing using yeast cells as a model and a bioreactor.  Students will learn how to monitor growth conditions and product purifications.  The course already has cGMP, cGLP, and cGDocP instruction as part of the curriculum.  

BSCI 2230:  Methods of Protein Analysis:  This course will be offered in the spring 2021 semester and will incorporate a focus on CAR T-cells, iPSCs, Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) and antibodies for disease therapies and introduction to immunocytochemistry.

BSCI 2250 Integrative Biology:  The cell culture component of this course will introduce 2-D culture of MSCs to learn complexities and challenges associated with this cell type.  Additionally, students will also be introduced to hydrogels to understand how this technology can be used for large-scale manufacturing and 3-D cell culture.
