Preface

Bioseparations engineering refers to the systematic study of the scientific and engineering principles utilized for large-scale purification of biological products: biopharmaceuticals, biochemicals, foods, nutraceuticals and diagnostic reagents. Bioseparationsengineering, both as an academic topic as well as an industrial practice has undergone significant growth and increase in importance in the past decade. Its entry into academia as a taught course took place as usually happens with any new topic: at the postgraduate level. It is now taught as a regular course in many undergraduate chemical and biomolecular engineering programs. It is also taught eitheras a separate course or indeed as a component of bioprocess engineering in almost all undergraduate and postgraduate programs in biotechnology. Most projects start with some necessity and this book is no exception. In the year 1999, as a new faculty member at Oxford University I was assigned to teach the relatively new C5A Bioprocess Engineering and C5B Separations courses for undergraduate...
