Pramoninė biotechnologija

Dalyko anotacija lietuvių kalba

Šio kurso tikslas – suteikti žinių apie pramonėje taikomas baltąją ir žaliąją biotechnologijas; supažindinti su pagrindiniais biotechnologijos taikymo principais; praktinių biotechnologijų taikymu pramonėje ir jų ateities perspektyvomis. Vienas iš kurso tikslų – suteikti bazines žinias apie ekonomišką biotechnologijų panaudojimą pramonėje; pramoninių biotechnologijų potencialą ir šių technologijų taikymą limituojančius veiksnius; gebą įvertinti panašumus bei skirtumus tarp klasikinės pramonės ir pramonės, kurioje taikomos biotechnologijos; gebėti adekvačiai įvertinti problemas, kylančias taikant biotechnologijas pramonėje bei rasti optimaliausius problemos sprendimo būdus. Išklausę kursą studentai gebės suprasti pagrindinius dalyko principus ir praktiškai taikyti įgytą patirtį, sprendžiant problemas bei turės platų požiūrį apie besivystančios šiuolaikinės pramonės scenarijų.

Dalyko anotacija užsienio kalba

This course aims to provide knowledge of the industrial biotechnologies, namely “white” and “green” technologies; to introduce the principles of the subject, their application into common industrial practice and their future trends. It also aims to provide basic understanding of economical driving forces and the potential and limitations of these technologies; a capability to evaluate relations and differences between classical industrial approach and biotechnological one, to evaluate and select the most appropriate solution for a given practical problem in this area. After completion of the course students will demonstrate understanding and have practical experience in approaching theoretical problems and show wide vision onto the evolving modern industrial scenario.
