Handout Production of biomolecules in animal cell systems Designed for first-year Master's students Option: Biotechnology and molecular pathology

Abstract

The production and extraction of biomolecules from animal cells are crucial processes in biotechnology, biochemistry, and medicine. These biomolecules, including proteins, enzymes, antibodies, and hormones, are essential for various applications ranging from fundamental research to drug development. The world of biomolecules is a complex riddle! The pieces are numerous, some are well-known, others less so... The course on Production of biomolecules in animal cell systems provides a detailed understanding of the methods used in the production and extraction of valuable molecules such as insulin, interferons, and erythropoietin, as well as their structure, biosynthesis, role, and regulation. Studying this course involves being able to identify the mechanism behind a wide range of human diseases. Comprehending better has not only revolutionized medicine and biotechnology, but has also paved the way for new possibilities in the treatment of various diseases.
