BioMADE, the national manufacturing innovation institute for industrial biotechnology, is hosting two in-person workshops this July at the University of San Diego. Both sessions give scientists, engineers, and industry professionals hands-on training in fermentation-based bioproduction and metabolic engineering.
Metabolic Engineering Workshop — July 27–28, 2026
This two-day course focuses on metabolic engineering for high-volume, low-cost chemical and materials production. Sessions cover genome-scale metabolic modeling and strain design. Other topics include technoeconomic modeling, high-throughput screening at the intersection of metabolism, statistics, and AI, and adaptive laboratory evolution.
The course suits at-the-bench metabolic engineers, fermentation scientists, bioinformaticians, and managers seeking a better grasp of industrial biotech projects. Instructors include Adam Feist of UC San Diego. Additional instructors come from Geno, Ginkgo Bioworks, Cellibre, Manus, and R2DIO.
Microbial Fermentation Workshop — July 29–31, 2026
This three-day workshop builds a working foundation in bioreactor design, operation, and scale-up. Topics include microbial growth and metabolism, medium design, and oxygen mass transfer and mixing. The course also covers sterilization, aseptic practice, and design of experiments. It closes with bioprocess simulation and lifecycle and techno-economic analysis. Case studies focus on scale-up challenges and downstream processing.
The course is designed for professionals with some prior fermentation experience. Instructors come from Caladan Bio, Ohr Synbiosis, International Flavors & Fragrances, Geno, and Lallemand. An independent consultant formerly of GreenLight Biosciences and Vedanta will also teach.
Both workshops take place at the University of San Diego’s Pardee Legal Research Center. Registration includes daily lunch and networking receptions. It also covers all course materials and hands-on activities. Attendees who register for both workshops save $500.Â
