Hahn, Tobias; Huuk, Thiemo; Heuveline, Vincent; Hubbuch, Ju¨rgen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
Industrial purification of biomolecules is commonly based on a sequence of chromatographic processes, which are adapted slightly to new target components, as the time to market is crucial. To improve time and material efficiency, modeling is increasingly used to determine optimal operating conditions, thus providing new challenges for current and…

Roy, Nicole M. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2013
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful technology used to knock down genes in basic research and medicine. In 2006 RNAi technology using "Caenorhabditis elegans" ("C. elegans") was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine and thus students graduating in the biological sciences should have experience with this technology. However,…
