The CSIR-Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH) conducted a five-day workshop on the fundamentals of Fermentation Process Development.

The workshop helped participants acquire fundamental understanding of the relationship between process design and product quality in fermentation. Twenty one participants from different academic and research institutes as well as from industry were part of this workshop, which started from January 13 and concluded on January 17.

This workshop was intended to not only build the knowledge base of participants on the subject but to also help increase employability and entrepreneurial potential of the participants in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

The workshop was organized by the Biochemical Engineering Research and Process Development Centre (BERPDC) under its ‘Skill Development’ mandate with an aim to impart and upgrade skills of the young researchers and students in Fermentation Technology.
