In this hands-on-pichia course 2019, experts will explain and demonstrate the efficient use of the Pichia pastoris (Komagataella phaffii) expression and production system.
We will explore underlying concepts and provide insights into current laboratory practices, step-by-step protocols and novel innovative tools. In particular, a number of Pichia pastoris special features will be addressed to demonstrate how its full molecular capacity can be exploited when employed for production processes at different levels of scale. During hands-on laboratory sessions and small-group workshops, the participants will clarify and discuss suitable, tailor-made solutions for selected case studies.
Participants will be provided with supporting materials to guide them through the course.
Based on practical experience gained during this course, participants will acquire structured guidance on how to achieve optimum production performance using Pichia.
