The Department of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science is going to be carrying on it's seminar series through a series of Webinars, highlighting research from academics and researchers from both within the department, and from around the world.
The first of these webinars, taking place on Monday 4th May, will feature talks from Mauro Torres and Daniel Niblett, both researchers within the Department, starting with the following from Mauro Torres:
Lessons of cold stress: from molecular understanding to engineering mammalian cell factories
Abstract:
Biopharmaceuticals are new medicines that revolutionized the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. However, the manufacturability of these life-changing drugs are still a challenge and further developments in the production processes are needed to make them more accessible. In this talk, I will present how a better understanding of the cell factories (so-called “black box”) enabled us to develop a cell engineering strategy for enhanced biopharmaceuticals production.
Daniel Niblett will then present:
Investigating the effect of fuel cell gas diffusion layer microstructure on two-phase flow and effective transport properties
Abstract:
Polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) performance is affected by the production and accumulation of water in porous gas diffusion layers (GDL). In this talk we use numerical simulations to investigate the effect of traditional GDL and designed porous materials on the dynamics of two-phase flow and transport properties in PEFC scenarios.
