Measurement, Monitoring, Modelling and Control of Bioprocesses

In 1988, the European Federation of Biotechnology EFB founded a new Working Party with the target to deal with measurement and control of bioprocesses. This was an ambitious move. Now, some two decades later a myriad of new issues within this broad scope have arisen: bioprocess performance monitoring, fault detection, experimental design, modelling of bioreactors and bioprocesses, fighting ‘‘data drowning’’, detection and monitoring of impurities, faster product innovation together with the reconfiguration control and integrated design. There is also a growing need to foster these aspects in teaching and training within the relevant higher education programmes. The M3C reflects those drivers for measurement, monitoring, modelling and control and is the brand name used by the European Federation of Biotechnology and the European Society of Biochemical Engineering Science. This collection of contributions on M3C provides an update of a previous volume in this series and represents a state-of-the-art assessment of the different elements of M3C. It brings together leading academics and industrial practitioners, from global institutions, to provide expert analysis and opinion in a pragmatic and useful format.
