Chemical Engineering

Biological substances and microorganisms as biocatalysts and raw materials feedstock for the formation of nanoparticles (fundamentals, biological fractions of nanotechnology relevance, production of biological fractions of nanotechnology relevance). Nucleation and crystallisation of proteins (fundamentals, characterisation, process screening and identification, production). Formation and use of nanoparticles by biotechnological techniques (microorganisms, culture media, extracts, switchable solvents). Applications of nanoparticles in the bio-related fields (food, pharma, cosmetic, agriculture).

Teaching will only be carried out in presence in the assigned classroom. All lectures will be taught in English.

Attendance is facultative. However, only regularly attending students will have their "small groupwork projects" evaluated for the final mark (together with the compulsory written test).

The written exam includes 10 multiple choice questions, plus an open-ended question (to be provided by the student). The oral exam is optional. If it is not carried out, it will be counted as passed with the vote of 18/30. The final mark will be assigned as the average of the marks obtained in the two tests. Only those admitted to the "evaluated groupwork" can replace the oral test with the presentation of their groupwork.
