Introduction - Bioprocess Engineering: Kinetics, Biosystems, Sustainability and Reactor Design - page 19

Genetic manipulations and biotransformation are important to the bioprocess engineering
profession. Because of the fundamental impact genetic manipulation and biotransformation
can have on the cycle of life, ethics, and regulations are critical to the practice of bioprocess
engineers.
It is the intention that this text can be used as a senior and/or graduate text for bioprocess
engineering students. It may also be served as a reference and/or graduate text for chemical
kinetics, chemical reactor analysis, and bioprocess systems engineering. At the same time, we
have inserted materials, more advanced analysis, or complex systems in the text as an exten-
sion to the introductory material. It is our aim that this text can serve equally as a reference or
resource for further research or development.
