Welcome to Testa Center Demo Day 28 August 2025 in Uppsala, organized by Testa Center and Cytiva.
The purpose of the Demo Day is to:
- Build knowledge and understanding about bioprocessing among AI researchers:
- What is bioprocess?
- What is the purpose of the different steps in a bioprocess (upstream/midstream/downstream)?
- What data is generated when and why, and what is it used for?
- How is the process monitored and regulated?
- What are the major challenges in each step?
- Generate ideas and research questions of industrial interest that can be explored using AI and machine learning in a collaborative research project as part of WARA Medicine.
During the day you will get:
- theoretical introduction of bioprocessing and biological production from industry experts
- real time, on-site, demonstration of a pilot scale biological production process using industrial manufacturing instruments in a bioprocessing lab of industry standard
- possibility to discuss with and post questions to bioprocess specialists from Cytiva and Testa Center
- multidisciplinary discussions and brainstorming
Preliminary agenda
08:30 – 10:00 Lecture: Introduction to bioprocess
