Upstream Processing

Upstream Processing

Upstream processing represents a critical phase in biomanufacturing, wherein biological systems such as microorganisms, mammalian cells, or insect cells are cultivated to produce therapeutic proteins, vaccines, enzymes, or other biologically derived products. This phase encompasses all steps from the selection and genetic manipulation of the production organism to the cultivation of cells in bioreactors under tightly controlled environmental conditions.Host Selection and Genetic OptimizationThe...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering Education
Biodesign Innovation
Interdisciplinary Studies

Background:

Traditional biomedical engineering (BME) capstone courses occur in the senior year, often leaving students unprepared for practical biodesign and prototyping.
Existing capstone projects are typically faculty-driven, limiting student involvement in crucial needs identification and screening phases.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a longitudinal and interdisciplinary biodesign internship program to address student preparedness and project origination challenges.
To enhance the biodesign and bio-innovation process within the BME curriculum.

Main Methods:

Implemented a three-part internship course sequence starting in the junior year.
Included biodesign concept development, preliminary prototyping, clinical observation, and needs finding.
Conducted a 6-week summer immersion program with clinicians and industry mentors for project initiation.

Main Results:

47 students participated (approx. 20% of total BME students) since 2018.
Over 75% of internship projects advanced to senior design, involving >60% of BME seniors.
Program yielded publications, patents, and design awards, with high student satisfaction.

Conclusions:

The biodesign internship program effectively prepares students for hands-on biodesign and innovation.
The program successfully integrates student-driven needs finding into senior design projects.
This initiative significantly enhances the BME curriculum and fosters a pipeline for bio-innovation.
